I hadn't seen this mentioned. This is to coderpunks, bcc'd to cypherpunks & cryptography. Adam ------ A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 2144: Title: The CAST-128 Encryption Algorithm Author: C. Adams Date: May 1997 Mailbox: cadams@entrust.com Pages: 15 Characters: 37532 Updates/Obsoletes: None URL: ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc2144.txt There is a need in the Internet community for an unencumbered encryption algorithm with a range of key sizes that can provide security for a variety of cryptographic applications and protocols. This document describes an existing algorithm that can be used to satisfy this requirement. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. ----- End of forwarded message from Adam Shostack -----
