A couple of people have complained of the huge efforts put into breaking keys, and of the small efforts invested in cypherpunks code writing of late.
Perhaps there is something to this challenge stuff, in terms of getting contributors, neatly tabulating results, working up enthusiasm etc.
So... how about a code writing challenge, an award for the best cypherpunk project every month. (No monetary prize, just vote on list to decide most significant project).
Well I haven't done alot in the area of writting crypto algoritims I have done quite a bit of work in the area of crypto implementations (mostly in the PGP - E-Mail Integration). I have also been working on improving performance of PGP when working with large keyrings (primary & secondary indexing, multiple keyring lookups, public key caching, real time key retreival from BAL servers). - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
