You are asking for an impossibility.

See, you won't tell us what your algorithm is, yet you want us
to tell you where to find it on the 'net. If we don't know what
it is, then how can we direct you?
Impossible!
To put it another way:
I'm thinking of a chemical. Would you please tell
me where I can find a complete description of it
is on the 'net?
