I should have said that in the special sub-case where the member word has entropy density XX=100% _or_ in the special sub-case where M=1, XOR is as good as it gets. In all other cases I can think of, the hash approach is much better. (I excluded the XX=100% case earlier in the note, but I should have included it in the summary. Sorry.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
