Please stop referring to this website.

Sorry, but everybody in the field of cryptology, except Nicolas 
Courtois, agree that algebraic attacks on AES don't work. To quote 
Vincent Rijmen: "The XSL attack is not an attack. It is a dream."

Please read

* http://www.inria.fr/rrrt/rr-5251.html
* Claus Diem also has a paper that proofs XL/XSL does not work, but it 
is not online.


Cheers,

Dries
