I have put together a package for Cantsin 2 Signatures, to generate the keys, sign documents and check signatures.
Prerequisites are:
perl Version 5 libgmp Version 2.* a C compiler currently /dev/random for generation of keys and signatures
precompiled binaries are provided for Linux-ELF (libc-5.*), if you have that you don't need libgmp.
Pick it up from http://www.snafu.de/~zahn/cantsin.tar.gz (70 KByte)
Have you got a URL I can check out which explains this protocol and how it's superior to, let's say, PGP?

There were 3 relevant emails regarding that protocol to the mailing list cypherpunks@Algebra.COM. For anyone who has missed those emails I have put it at http://www.snafu.de/~zahn/cantsin.txt The protocol (currently) only specifies a format for a digital signature of documents or parts of documents. The algorithms used are SHA1 and ElGamal. There is currently no encryption specified. In contrast PGP 2.x used RSA and MD5 and has encryption with IDEA, PGP 5.x has another collection of algorithms. Compared to PGP, that exists as commercial software, my package is an experimental proof of concept, so it is not 'superior'.
