CDR: Where are the crypt source blackboards?
Where are the crypt source blackboards? Fellow Cypherpunks, It occurs to me that in mailing lists that concern crypt programming there should be posts with programs and large code fragments of crypt source lines. I don't remember seeing any such on Cypherpunks and the little I've checked out on Coderpunks I haven't seen any there either. I know that in Amerika it may or may not be illegal to post crypt source code, but I would think that foreign members would post crypt code. So, where is it? For Amerikans, they should at least be posting links to source code "blackboards" in order to develope crypt code. I don't even find that. To what degree is the prohibition of posting crypt source code having a negative impact on crypt developement and deployment?

You were a twit four and five years ago when you were last on this list, you were probably a twit during the blessed years your presence did not grace this list, and you're still a twit after your return.

do people have code which they want to post? personally, the prohibition wouldn't affect me much. but most of my crypto source code issues are problems with using OpenSSL (I'm an OpenSSL newbie, sad to say, and trying to change that). there are other places to look for help with that... what I'd expect to be posted here or to coderpunks would be discussions of the right techniques and so on to use when developing crypto applications. sometimes with code as an illustration. and we do have that, c.f. discussions on wagner blinding, recipient hiding signatures, and so on. just not so much of it because, well, coming up with this stuff takes a fair amount of time. at least for me. so it is not as prevalent as the latest phil/pol musings. -david
