A gauntlet thrown down by PC-Magic?
Hey guys Just FYI here is the response I got from PC-Magic. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Chaney <scott@pc-magic.com> To: Alex Woolfson <abdiel@worldnet.att.net> Date: Monday, December 15, 1997 4:02 PM Subject: Re: Encrypted Magic Folders
Thanks for the feedback. We are considering an established standard.
BTW, for all the "crap" we get from supposed crypto experts no one has come close to breaking our method. It does make for humorous reading tho.

Anyone care to take him up on his challenge? Please say yes. :-) Alex

Please say yes. :-) No. We need to educate the public that this is not an acceptable answer, not provide free cryptanalysis to every company that comes along. It took 3 years to break knapsack. The week before it happened, no one had come close. That was not a good reason to be using it. Adam -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume
