Does anyone here do encryption programming? I'm considering doing it as my final year project and I've got a few questions. Just post here or mail me. Thanks.

what kind ? public schemes ? private schemes ? classic cyphers implementation ? hash code generation ? digital signature ....
There's a lot to do. What skills does it need to involve from your side ?

speaking of cyphertexts, has anyone recently visited the vsnares homepage:
vsanres
there's big big picture in the middle of the screen but on the left part you will find a quasi invisible text. It looks like raw data displayed as ASCII code.
I'm trying to decrypt this secret message. my first intuition was to use it as 16-bits PCM samples but it's just plain white noise. It can be anything else so if you have time to spend and a little experience with media files , you can try to break the code !
What I can say about this - it's not random keys typed by Mr Funk since some of the characters correspond to non assigned ASCII codes.
If you find the solution - please share with me.

The Code Book by Simon Singh should sort you out for the basics upwards....
I'm re-reading The Enigma - Alan Turings biography & theres a ton of ctyprography in there as well....fucking good book too....Ceri, I've a spare copy of that if you want it....let me know...

Ah, Turing of the 'Colossus' fame? He also got done for being a homosexual or something ,didn't he? (as well as being brilliant)
Sorry,slight deflection of the original topic!

That's the guy....
His death is a mystery...some say suicide others that he was murdered by the state as he knew a lot of official secrets & was a fairly open homosexual...a dangerous thing to be in the 50s.....
He was convicyed & they tried to treat, yes treat, his homosexuaility by injecting him with Estrogen, femle hormone....it's known as Chemical Castration....
Side affect was he ended up growing breasts....
So despite saving millions of lives & playing a huge role in 20th century maths/science, his diginity was taken from him...and in the end, hsi life...
sad story...but an amazing guy....
That ENIGMA movie washes over Turing....another pity...
altho there is a play/video called Cracking the Code with Derk Jacobbi as Turing....well worrh seeing....

oh yeah...
CRYPTO by Steven Levy is a cool book all about the public Key/RSA creators & the cypherpunk movement....just out in paperback as well, I think...
