Crack open your palm pilots and take note! And please repost widely. Our mailing list (dccp@eff.org), along with the rest of eff.org, is sadly out of commission. DC Cypherpunks will hold a meeting at the Electronic Privacy Information Center office in Washington, DC. DATE: Soon! Saturday, November 21, 1998 TIME: 5pm Featured speaker: Richard Schroeppel, University of Arizona rcs@cs.arizona.edu The Hasty Pudding Cipher "NIST is organizing the search for a new block cipher, the Advanced Encryption Standard. The Hasty Pudding Cipher is my entry in the AES competition. The design goals for HPC are medium security, speed, and flexibility. Hasty Pudding works with any block length and any key size. It is optimized for 64-bit architectures, operating at 200 MHz on large data blocks. Hasty Pudding introduces a new feature, Spice, which allows useful non-expanding encryption of small blocks, even single bits. The cipher includes some unusual design principles." Location: Electronic Privacy Information Center 666 Pennsylvania Ave. SE, at the corner of Pennsylvania and 7th in South East DC Across the street from Eastern Market Metro station (Orange & Blue Line) To get into the building, go around to the 7th street side next to the flower shop and use the call box to call the EPIC office. We'll buzz you in. True to DCCP form, we'll probably hit a local resturaunt afterwards for dinner.
