Igor:
Someone needs to write an IPG and Don Wood FAQ. No, I'm not volunteering.
As a crypto amateur, I would appreciate a good technical explanation as to why IPG's algorithm cannot be considered secure.
I am sure that someone will correct me if I am wrong, but: The algorythm cannot be considered secure until it has been peer-reviewed. They refuse to release the algorythm for review, simply saying that "you can't break the code" therefore "it is secure". I personally have a hard time with the cryptograms in the sunday newspaper, never mind something that would take a real cryptographer longer than a cup of coffee to figure out. Am I close here?
