I wonder if anyone has thought of including the key of a message with the message, in such a way that the key of the message was on the surface indistinguishable from the message. An example might be a copy of the federal register. The Federal Register is a daily publication that details federal regulations. It is about 1000 pages on a good day. Suppose the encryptor referenced 1000 or so regulatory citations in an article about, say car emissions in California. In another part of the 1000 page federal register, the exact regulations were given. In yet another part of the Federal register, a regulation meeting description was given, citing a few regulations to be discussed, and the reasons for discussing them. A decrypting party would look at the three articles, and see that the meeting announcement filtered the 1000 regulations in another part of the FR, and those could be applied through some standard algorithm to the article about emissions in California. The point is, the entire message is contained in one package, and the key is extracted from the sending signal. Has this been tried? Chris Lapp
