According to Douglas Sinclair: The point wasn't to be unbreakably secure; it was to be UNFINDABLY secure. We convolute an allready encrypted message to the point of not being recognizable as cyphertext, then we hide it on the end of a file. We want it to look like garbage.
Cyphertext from any decent system ALREADY looks random. Whats the point of doing more to it?
Many encryption tools such as ripem, pgp, and dolphin can recognize their own output...which indicates that there is a footprint to that particular implimentation. +-----------------------+-----------------------------+---------+ | J.
