Hello there everyone subscribing to this mailing list... My name is Benjamin Grosman and I am a 17 year old student from Sydney, Australia...but please, don't hold any of that against me :) Anyway, for my major assignment I wrote an encryption program under Turbo Pascal for Dos, version 7.0, and for this program I developed the algorithm myself... Now, what I am wodnering is, is there anyone on this list who might be interested in testing my program, and or analyisng the strength of the encryption and reporting there findings back to me? The more people who are knowledgeable in the field of encryption who want to have a look, the better, so please, don't hesitate, as I would really appreciate all input.... As you all might have guessed, I am definitely pro-encryption. I have some particularly malicious "friends" who go to great pains to find out what you typed in your latest assignments...before they are due...and so I have undertaken this project out of necessity as much as interest, and I find the US governments ban on the exportation of cypher technology and knowledge a great burden on the academic community in their efforts to further their knowledge...but please don't sledge me for my views, just please respond to: bgrosman@healey.com.au if you are interested in obtaining a copy of my program... Many thanks.... Ben
