Why is it "hard" to determine the storage key of the ECB? What routine
provides the storage?

If all you are doing is blindly IVSK and SPKA, you may as well set to key zero

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
