Isn't this what Rivest's "Chaffing and Winnowing" is all about? http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~rivest/chaffing.txt

Hi, you most probably have heard about the court case where the presence of encryption software on a computer was viewed as evidence of criminal intent. http://www.lawlibrary.state.mn.us/archive/ctappub/0505/opa040381-0503.ht m http://news.com.com/Minnesota+court+takes+dim+view+of+encryption/2100-10 30_3-5718978.html Plenty of research has been done about information hiding. But this special court case requires "algorithm hiding" as a kind of response. Do you know where to look for papers about this subject? What about designing an algorithm good for encryption which someone can not prove to be an encryption algorithm? regards Hadmut --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
