I am happy to see that DataETRsch has developed a sense of humor since their last visit to the list. The CypherPunks name is used by some as a synonym for 'irreverance'. The down-side of exposing your product to the scrutiny of the CypherPunks is that it will be shaken down, battered and bruised, and you will be confronted with hard questions and skepticism. The up-side is that in between the irreverance and the skepticism, you will get feedback on your product from people whose knowledge of encryption and cryptography issues is second to none. If CypherPunks can't find holes in your product, then it should plainly be a feather in your cap. If they do find some holes, then you are better off to know about them now, as opposed to finding out far down the road, when you have much greater reputation capital that could be damaged. I hope that you indeed have a strong, secure product to offer, as I regard strong crypto as being of premiere importance in supporting privacy and freedom. -- Toto "The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre" http://bureau42.base.org/public/xenix/xenbody.html
