Well, except that your attack isn't a birthday attack. A birthday attack involves making a ton of different messages and checking _all_ messages created to find _any_ collision. Your attack involves taking one particular message and creating permutations of it, one after another, looking for a collision with your particular message. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
