- Just a sidenote to 'Hackers' words...
-
- There are also encryption algorithms that when used to encrypt the
- plaintext over and over and over, will yield the un-encrypted text. (Ie:
- Its a circular encryption -- Sorry, I don't know the correct term here)
-
- Also, the reasons for tinkerig with DES could possibly be for one reason,
- it was claimed 'unreversable' (Right?) and also that its the basis for
- Unix' CRYPT().
