Hi, I am glad to be back on this mailing list:) Please read the whole thread at the official unicode mailing list:

Or is worry merely about someone recently > using Yudit for something it really wasn't designed for? I was thinking about the future of Unicode in the age of digital signatures. I had the following questions in my head: 1. Is Unicode secure? If it is not secure, can it be made secure? This question is important because people may want to sign text files in their own languuage. They want to send unambiguous emails too. An unsecure standard/system with social engineering would undermine national security. 2. The possibility of a seemingly secure standard that can be used with a software that has intentional or unintentional back-doors. This is important: last week I just watched from my Linux box Windows guys running around with virus scanners and having all Windows machines in a bad shape. I don't want to experience the same mess in Linux. What if the software we are using would have built in sanity checks using reversible algorithms to convert the bitstream to a view, and convert it back to check if we get back the same stream? What they call in Yudit a software flaw - converting to view and back is in fact its merit - all algorithms used are reversable so far. I just asked #1 at unicode consortium but there is a communication breakdown and I unsubscribed. What forum shall I use?
