I haven't participated in the discussion on cryptography@c2.net, but
there is a similar thread on ukcrypto in which I mentioned briefly
the results of my research into this issue [*]. Moreover, the
discussion pops up every year or so on these or other lists, and the
same arguments are repeated many times.
So, it seems sensible to make a FAQ. I would volunteer for this, but
that I probably won't have time until July. What do people think?
Should I give it a try? If so, can it wait until July?
Kind regards,
Bert-Jaap
