This isn`t strictly true. Don Wood (spit) has actually released the algorithm details for review.
What did poor Don Wood do to deserve the (spit) after his name? Is he a lia and a content-based plug-puller, like John Gilmore (spit)? Is he an ignoran pseudo-cryptoid like Paul "Brute Force Attack on One-Time Pad" Bradley (spi
Amen, and that is only a small part of the gobbldegook that Bradley and his claque have turkey squatted on you. As I have said before, PBradleyinfo = PBradleyinfo log_base_infinity PBradleyinfo
Pabulum @ Fatbrain about says it all... This net.thug tries to indimidate his "opponents" by using, without understanding, "kewl" words like "unicity distance". When that doesn't work, he resorts to words like "bullshit" and to putting "(spit)" after his "opponents'" names. Paul also mailbombed me by e-mailing me many copies of my own cypherpunks articles with various obscenities attached, so I had to have him filtered out. He clearly has no more credibility than John Gilmore, and their opinions about any proposed cryptosystem are worthless and totally irrelevant. Paul should switch to writing science fiction about "brute-force attacks on one-time pads", where he can use "kewl"-sounding words like "unicity distance" whose meanings he doesn't understand, and he'll be crtiticized less. Like, no one would criticize Larry Niven if "Ringworld" were shown to be nonsense from mechanical engineering point of view, because mechanical engineering is a complex technical subject, just like cryptography, and science fiction is escapist entertainment for juveniles, not a technical discussion forum, just like the "cypherpunks" mailing list. A science fiction writer doesn't have to understand the meaning of the technical terms he (ab)uses. Creative licence, you know.
Thanks Dr. Vulis and DT and others for yur kindness.
You're very welcome. I've seen other people harrassed, verbally abused, and either hounded off of this mailing list, or forcibly unsubscribed by John Gilmore, its lying owner, and most of them happen to be Jewish (myself, Fred Cohen, David Sternlight...) Dale too is starting to get flamed. I wonder if that has anything to do with Tim May's rants about the descruction of Israel and extermination of all Jews? --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
