-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- A recent _Scientific American_ had a brief piece on inducing order in chaotic systems; I don't have it handy, but apparently it's fairly simple to induce order in some nonlinear systems. I'm no chaotician, but it seems that if you want to synchronize two chaos generators at different sites, you must a) use the same initial values and b) use the same mechanism to induce order. Granted that small changes in a) or b) can change the system greatly, this doesn't seem all that different from conventional synchronized encryption systems. (I'm happy to note that much of this work is being done at Georgia Tech, my alma mater. It's great to be a fuzzy bee!) - -Paul - -- Paul Robichaux, KD4JZG | "Crypto-anarchy means never having to say perobich@ingr.com | you're sorry." - Tim May (tcmay@netcom.com) Intergraph Federal Systems | Be a cryptography user- ask me how. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQCVAgUBLGk15SA78To+806NAQFLyQQAoZkg0VNeLCpfyqBtIDOsXcZQtBt0lo/Z gOSS8p1Q2hSYAaO6NgGAgZ3dsVBSaGVpoGxMoIGlzbjNbJ72BEIRxiz2Itt3ul/s DGbCIvqU8omph0msq8s2a3FBAnwE/yHfCbSHBPqmqRL29Bif7SpNh5qAc5JpEXBT IjrsgcVa83I= =4Mbz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
