How do I present a new encryption scheme in sci.crypt? "I just came up with this neat method of encryption. Here's some ciphertext: FHDSIJOYW^&[EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it strong?'' Without a doubt questions like this are the most annoying traffic on sci.crypt. If you have come up with an encryption scheme, providing some ciphertext from it is not adequate. Nobody has ever been impressed by random gibberish. Any new algorithm should be secure even if the opponent knows the full algorithm (including how any message key is distributed) and only the private key is kept secret. There are some systematic and unsystematic ways to take reasonably long ciphertexts and decrypt them even without prior knowledge of the algorithm, but this is a time-consuming and possibly fruitless exercise which most sci.crypt readers won't bother with. /.../ </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
