Howdy,
	I'm totally new to this topic so please bear with me.  I've
read several Springer-Verlag "lecture notes in computer science"
including "Modern Cryptology A Tutorial" and a few of the Crypto' and
Eurocrypt articles.  Crypto '89 has an article called "Good S-Boxes
are Easy to Find" by C. Adams and S. Tavares.  I'd like to improve the
DES routine I've got working already by substituting the s-boxes with
some of the ideas described in this article.

	The article states that there are 60 s-boxes which meet
the criteria of 1) bijection, 2) nonlinearity, 3) strict avalanche,
and 4) independance of output bits.  Only 3 of these are listed in
the article and I don't have access to the J. of Cryptology to
see if the authors actually got to publish a more detailed description.
Does anyone have a listing of these 60 "perfect" s-boxes?

	Also, the article states "A simple way to extend DES in
the short term might be to standardize a list of good s-boxes and have
as part of the key the choice of s-boxes to use."  Has anyone done
this and would you mind telling me how you used the key to pick
the s-boxes?

	Finally, does anyone know how to get email to the above
authors?  They are listed as being from Queen's University in
Kingston Ontario.  Thanks for any replies!
