    Why not wait (or not) until the RSA patent expires and join the
    rest of the world with PGP? The IDEA is crypto tech that everybody
    understands and doesn't have any secret design parameters. It's
    also a heck of a lot easier to implement than the DES.

    Best of the season,
                            Marc
