Joseph,
The whole issue of entropy is a bit vague for me - I don't
normally work at that end of things - so could you point to a
good tutorial on the subject, or barring having a reference
handy, could you give an overview?
Thanks,
Allen

Saqib,
I believe you are correct as to the algorithm, but the snake-oil
is in the implementation,

Oh?
So you're saying Chaitin-Kolmogrov information and other ways of
studying entropy are wrong? I think that's a bit unreasonable, don't
you?
There are different definitions that are useful at different

Algorithms can be perfect and implementation sloppy. If you can
review the code you might find the problem, but with proprietary
code, fergetit.
I think you guys are missing the point. The term Snake-Oil Crypto
refers to the algorithm and NOT the actual implementation. This is a
