If you feel overwhelmed by the sarcasm directed your way, there is a reason for that.
Designing cryptosystems is *hard*. No, that's too mild. Is *mindblowingly* hard. It doesn't start with code. It starts with a mathematical description. No, even that is not true: It starts with years and years of study.
The denisens of this list have seen a hundred cryptosystem crash and burn. Some of them were designed by very clever people. Did I mention that designing cryptosystems is hard? Don't even think of trying it, not unless you have first spent a few years studying the state of the art.
Sorry to be so blunt, but I think it will save you a whole lot of grief. – Harald _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
