Although it doesnt need to be particularly great I'm thinking there's no reason it's gotta be bad. I'm building a symmetric algorithm that is designed to specifically handle large keys ie >1024 bytes. If anyone has any hints or suggestions, I'm open to them...in fact that's why I'm writing this in the first place. If it works well, maybe someday people will actually use it, then again maybe not. thanks for your time. -- Laurence Berland, Stuyvesant HS Debate <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. http://stuy.debate.net icq #7434346 aol imer E1101 The above email Copyright (C) 1999 Laurence Berland All rights reserved To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
