I have seen the Diamond2 algorithm in the dlock2 package, with its predecessors MPJ, MPJ2. This a thesis by Michael Paul Johnson for is Master of Science degree (1989), and a free softwar (date: 12/21/1995). Schneier's Applied Cryptography doesn't say anything about MPJ or Diamond. What is its strength?
Unknown. MPJ is a skilled amateur. However, none of his algorithms have been rigorously analyzed. Perry
