Umm, no, part of the *problem* with lucifer is that the 128 bit key had symmetries that made it's strength *trivially* less than 64 bit and as I recall less than 56 as well. But yes, this is *way* off topic. You'd still need an export license for Lucifer :-) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
