Crypto comes in only two varieties: the kinds that will keep secrets safe against a motivated thirteen-year-old, and the kinds that will keep secrets safe against space aliens from Zarbnulax.[*] It's kind of the nature of this list to believe there's no point in the former and to obsess over the latter -- when neither dismissal nor obsession is actually a very good policy. I'm not going to dismiss the former kind of crypto: my only lookout is making sure that you're fully appraised of the risks. Which it seems like you are, so go with God and happy hacking. :) [*] "the space aliens from Zarbnulax" is my usual shorthand for "an adversary with knowledge of mathematics and science far beyond ours, and computers that operate at the outer edge of what the universe will bear". Most of the regulars on the list have heard me talk about the Zarbnulaxians before, but I figure a heads-up for the newcomer might be polite. > That was, to say the least, not really satisfying.

I'm glad we could point you in a useful direction. Incidentally, the author of cryptlib is a pretty reasonable guy. If you have questions shout out to him and I suspect you'll get reasonable answers. :)
