I'm trying to find instances of crypto code published in computer magazines i n the last few years. I know of Blowfish in DDJ, are there cases of more mainstream computer mags like Byte publishing crypto code (I know Byte did DES in 1977, I'm hoping for something a bit more recent)?.
Well this code (an implementation of RSA) appeared in UK Computer Shopper (largest readership computer mag in UK) by Charlie Stross: print pack"C*",split/\D+/,`echo "16iII*o\U@{$/=$z;[(pop,pop,unpack"H*",<> )]}\EsMsKsN0[lN*1lK[d2%Sa2/d0<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<J]dsJxp"|dc` (actually it was some earlier version of the code) Other media appearances include: - A picture of the shirt in Nova magazine (a French publication) - Shirt on Nulle Part Ailleurs (French cabal TV talk show) - Shirt Japanese edition of Wired - Shirt in US version of Wired - Richard White's tattoo of the program in UK Wired - Shirt in BBC Open Univ program (educational program on encryption) - Picture of label with program on New York Times All of those apart from the last would probably be readable from the source code, or from the bar code.
