Absolutely correct -- I am not inventing anything. I am getting all my algorithms from Schneier. I haven't decided yet if I want to do a public-key system to use coin-flipping to build a session key for a symmetric cipher, or if I want to use hashes for the coin-flipping. I wasn't planning on blazing new territory. :) I just want to know if an object encrypted in one VM can be decrypted and used in another VM, which is probably over the network. Thanks for your concern. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam? See http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for help
