-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello out there. I propose a question to the Cypherpunks community. Other than the infamous Claude Shannon paper published in '49 in the Bell Systems Technical Journal "Communications Theory of Secrecy Systems", I am looking for a good (maybe a more layman level, published in the last decade or so, and available on the web) paper describing the relationship between entropy (of information systems) and secure communication. If no-one has any good suggestions, maybe you could email me with your favorite number or color or size of pants. Just kidding, what I am really interested in is, is how much Jelllo you can fit in your left sock. Or hell, send me your most provocative pictures of Margaret Thatcher in the nude. I am, in my uneducated state of fourth-year mathematics major at Antioch College, attempting a research project in the field of cryptography, and would appreciate citations of sources you consider significant developments in the field of cryptography, in the last 50 years or so. But your flammability has nothing to do with this request for information at all. So, goddamnit, thanks for your help.
