The January 1993 Dr. Dobb's contains a description of the use of Lucas sequences as an alternative to RSA for public key encryption. I seem to recall a previous assertion in this group that the Lucas sequence system is just a disquised RSA. I don't recall any details of the assertion or any follow up discussion. Does anyone have an opinion on this alternative? The advertised advantage is that the encrypted product of two messages is not the product of the individually encrypted messages. This beats at least one attack on RSA. ===================================================== Robert Jensen jensen@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu
