Could you be a bit more precise about what "flaws in cryptography" covers? If
you mean exploiting bad or incorrect implementations of crypto then there's so
much that I barely know where to start, if it's actual cryptanalytic attacks
on anything other than toy crypto (homebrew ciphers, known-weak keys, etc)
then there's very little around. If it's something else, you'd have to let us
know where the borders lie.
To be fair to Steve, although we've been bandying the term "toy crypto"
and cousins around for a while, we haven't really defined it. It's a
bit like american pornography, we know it when we see it.
