This is another forward from the crypto list (of which you've probably seen me post before). This one is of interest because it's an entirely new public key crypto system, and the http is a pointer to a mathematical description. I haven't had time yet to go into it, but the description seems pretty complete. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 7 May 1997 13:33:00 -0500 From: Bob Geiger <geiger@ukraine.corp.mot.com> To: coderpunks@toad.com, cryptography@c2.net Subject: New IBM public key algorithm On May 7, IBM announced that two of its research scientists created the world's first public-key encryption scheme that provides a mathematically proven uniform level of protection for keeping confidential computer data private. from- http://www.ibm.com/News/1997/05/ls970507.html If they can make it practical from a speed/resources perspective this will be very interesting (and you thought elliptic curve math was complicated! ;-) Interesting work.
