Oh man, thanks Perry.
*That* was entertaining reading. Articles like that are always more
interesting if you know the players. I remember being in one of
the first groups to go to the "Tristrata Academy" to get educated. The
training
was pretty high level and did not go deep enough into the guts of the
algorithms for us to judge their validity. Dr. Atalla was introduced as
a
multi-billionaire (not just $20 million as the article reveals). I
remember thinking "I am not expert enough to poke holes in this, but I
*do* know the folks on the crypto lists are going to eat these guys for
lunch!" :-)
Thanks again,
