So this is kind of what troubles me in the line this thread has taken re. checking that the encryption algorithms are well chosen and implemented correctly. In terms of the security of a system that seems analogous to checking my data processing application is ready to go by checking that it uses red/black trees, that its stable_sort sorts right and that its hash tables use good hash functions. You'd want all that, but it's just a beginning. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
