| 1167149 | 2011-01-11 10:26:00 | I gathered. It piqued my interest at the time though, although I know absolutely nothing about practical cryptography. Did anything ever eventuate from that algorithm? | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 1167150 | 2011-01-11 10:32:00 | I looked at trying to commercialise it but essentially came up against the old issue of initial key distribution. It was a strong system given it was akin to a one time pad and the methodology / key size used, but a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link and I couldn't solve the issue of initial key distribution without relying on public methods. So in a nutshell it is still sitting on the shelf. It was an interesting project and it gave me ideas about breaking other algorithms. I recommend you read a book called 'The Code Book' by Simon Singh if you have more than a passing interest in cryptography. Very informative. Andrew |

| 1167153 | 2011-01-11 23:13:00 | Yes that was me. That was a couple of years ago. From memory it was downloaded about 15-20k times and no-one cracked it. I've since moved on to other projects..... Cheers, Andrew I downloaded it but never bothered to try breaking it |
