Greetings fellow Cyphers... I'm creating a new _text_ cryptography program. The encryption algorithm, using a symmetrical is going to be as strong as legally allowed, and after copyrighting the program, I'm going to release the source code and explain everything about it (since it can be reverse engineered anyways). The reason I'm sending this e-mail to you is my request for more knowledge, and if you're like me, then you have an extreme thirst for knowledge! Any algorithm, key hashing, user interface, or other important suggestions you might have will help me immensely, and hey, maybe you'll get a free copy of this program when it comes out, but otherwise you will just have to wait until someone cracks the copyprotection because I'm going to make that extremely hard to do. I was going to call the program AlphaNumeric Encryption, but that says pretty much nothing... I might just call it something like Cipher Pad (or Cypher Pad if nobody cares that I use "cypher") , since it's only for text encryption. If you have a better idea for a name for this program, then please suggest it to me. Thanks, Guillotine
