-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- fellow 'punks, An artist named Zoltán Szegedy-Maszák is doing some interesting work for an organiztion named "C3" (the "3" is a superscript and it's pronounced "see-cubed") in Budapest, Hungary. C3 is an arts/culture/net.communication organization funded by the Soros Foundation, SGI and Matav (the Hungarian telephone company). They have a nice little Silicon Lab with an Onyx and a few Indy's, PC and Macs, and Zoltan has a page up on one of the Indy that demonstrates his "Cryptogram" generator: <http://lucida.c3.hu/cryptogram/> This project takes ASCII text strings and converts them into 3D models by assigning vertex coordinate values based on the ASCII codes encrypted by what I'll call a "key model." Essentially, it's a simple 3D steganography engine. It's rather intriguiging from a cryptographic perspective (pun intended). Zoltan sees it as a way of transferring .wrl fies among VRML afficionados, but also as a way of embedding messages. Definitely worth a peek: try your own name in VRML, light sources and all. :) Also check out C3's main site at: <http://www.c3.hu/>. dave ___________________________________________________________________ Cryptography is the entertainment branch of the computing industry. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv Comment: Verbum sapienti satis est. iQCVAwUBMgkRo6HBOF9KrwDlAQEjygP9GnnyGNPO8pIjgEnQaU//VIUh/DUANB1L 67XcAZ2dzTZ4/fGrDrTjaj/9AGH2Hx7R6szqDX5CLhP1fP+wUevBkKKvAqVoP8vU kRWb55iX3vsHN43jS0e4npKhil+HsXD8m7+tIFXIrPBRGcE+V1nbPaQpTG7LkBbO tFWREzxX+U8= =P7oA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
