Regardless of who the designer was, I think we need a review by an independent third party. The fact that Yarrow is a respected professional cryptographer would raise the bar and should make it less likely that there are really glaring stupid problems, and might require that we find someone of higher caliber than perhaps we might otherwise have sought out. But I don't think this eliminates the need for a review by an independent third party. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
