Mining involves generating hashes, which apparently GPU shaders are good at.  I'm not sure what algorithm is used for encrypting your private keys, but I guess the first thing to figure out is if a GPU would be any good at that algorithm anyhow.

AES is used to encrypt the privatekeys, if i remember correctly. it is easy to brutefore on GPU
