I could not disagree more. When it comes to nonstandard homebrewed cryptosystems foisted off on unsuspecting users with a bundle of claims of algorithm strength that they're not competent to evaluate for themselves, we do not need more ideas, nor more people trying out ideas; we need less. Standard, widely analyzed cryptographic algorithms are good. -- Thor Lancelot Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The inconsistency is startling, though admittedly, if consistency is to be abandoned or transcended, there is no problem." - Noam Chomsky _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
