THE RECIPROCAL ?......
Dear Cypherpunks, Speaking to a colleague who works at Queen's University of Belfast about the speculation of someone recently breaking PGP her response was, although short, very interesting which I thought may be of interest to the group..... "When people talk of encryption they use the word break, they are approaching from one way but not the only way. I am at present trying the reciprocal, that is, to mend." I asked her to go into more detail but she declined saying that..... "The early experiments have worked." What this means I don't know and she never anwsered whom the work was for but maybe this is a route which one has not considered - if at all it exists......the reciprocal ?..... -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCPAzCsvtYAAAEEANjIsO3Q0cSdEgYifAiA5+aUEVSBFFZTZIpqQXbgXxExsrjk bFiJ6haaWaD60KPjxH8QJ8PHr9x2tk2K1ktpbcL2+YjPHd+fJzqgz3llu2FV1Xu/ k1C7SWA5G8Do66I0MrQD3/jbAI2zp/0LnVoiI7LWCvPPKoxYCiHdIQ/n5PcJABEB AAG0JVRlcmVuY2UgSi4gTWFsbG9uIDx0am1AZWFzeW5ldC5jby51az6JAJUDBRAw uju1Id0hD+fk9wkBAXuUBACjGEmj3AO/rSUD0WRRHdYjDfR8L1FvcV0J/ZNwp7WJ 2cmHvtecLaOlTVWulRhVI6suUSwwzBYZFWmHJA7lR67gLZN8xqWyo/jWPVLDxAte pdC7ruZI1ZrFc90uPpymnVdC00gwgcG3F4RDQ9B1uY+4KiNG//fULwT6xUVzthak qA== =QN61 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Why do I sometimes feel that personalities that once were drawn to design of perpetual motion machines or techniques for squaring circles may very soon flock to cryptographic "research"? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Nobody's going to listen to you if you just | Mike McNally (m5@tivoli.com) | | stand there and flap your arms like a fish. | Tivoli Systems, Austin TX | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
