   Dear Cypherpunks:

                                     I whole-heartedly endorse Nortel
   Entrust CAST, it is cryptographically strong, with

   RC-4/RC-5/MD-5 message digest, seams to be the solution of choice.

   I am not opposed to single or 3DES. 3DES for single-key systems makes
   sense.

   Rotor-machine, Base64, clipper-chip, P.C.T is of very little value.

   Cygnus/BNR G.S.S.A.P.i, or, best yet, Transport-layer security, is
   best.

   i-button is of interst, as is chrysallis Luna/Luna-2 hardware dongles.

   Software-based firewalls are not very impressive.

   I advocate RSA, DES/3DES, RC-4/RC-5, MD-4/MD-5, Diffie-Hellmann
   ciphers,

   verisign, CAST, secure electronic transaction protocol,

   Radius password authentication, messaging based upon secure IP,

   x.400, x.500, x.509.

   Wireless networks to put the sneaker net out of business should be
   802.11 wireless D.S.S

   based upon Proxim/Farallon.

   ISDNn based upon Gandalf/Mitel with high compression-ratio.

   ISDNb, ADSL, Wireless network access products, cable/DSL routers with
   hardware based

   firewalls are of interest.


   Rule 1 of realtime design: user MUST maintain control
   at all times. Applications MUST trap ALL user interrupts,
   including persistent IO interrupts, even when not in
   active IO cycles.
   Realtime Embedded firmware design,
   secure network evaluation/design/installation
   data design/modalling/capacity planning
   discrete and continuous simulations
   software/hardware technical troubleshooting
   software application instruction/teaching/guidance
