Re: Encryption Program

Hello. I just posted an encryption program on the web. It uses a key- generated pseudorandom stream of characters that get XORed with the plaintext to produce the cyphertext. For decryption, the same stream is run against the cyphertext. (Such is the nature of the XOR operation.) You can download the program at: http://www.brigadoon.com/~semprini/3dmx I am interested in other people's views, comments, questions, etc. on this program. Any questions, comments, etc. can be sent to me at "semprini@theschool.com". Thanks, Dylan

Why do peaple keep posting examples of this lame cryptosystem? I mean how meany examples of XOR with the output of a pydorandom strame do we have to see? Semprini please find some good books on Crypto (and read the sci.crypt FAQ) to see why what you have done is week. - -- Please excuse my spelling as I suffer from agraphia see the url in my header.
