(Actually, I have been authorized to say now that > NuCrypt relies on the use of embedded 2048-bit shifting keys.) you're ignoring the point. if the algorithm is going to run on a computer it has to use "conventional ways". there are no hexadecimal Ouija board devices available for computer i know of. (if you've developed one, great, but you haven't claimed that yet, so this is a red herring.) any applications written to use this method still have to use the good ol' machine language. anything that can be understood by a computer can be understood by a human, given enough effort. -that- is the point. your algorithm will eventually be known. jason, who doesn't care a bit about NuCrypt, but finds these claims rather absurd. -- `,`,`, "greed & fear" `,`,`,`,`,`,` jsteiner@anwsun.phya.utoledo.edu ,`,`,`
