Many thanks.... Ben
Ben: If you can, you may want to get a hold of this book: Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ISBN 0-471-59756-2 It is a very good reference that will show you what the public 'state of the art' is. [You might find that you have recreated something that has already been broken, or see weaknesses in your cipher like other cryptosystems in the book that have their faults exposed...] Happy hunting and hacking, Brian Durham bdurham@metronet.com
