Re: Question!

[Sean Walton]

Asking this question, implies lack of understanding in experimentation.  The whole idea of programming (especially for enjoyment -- yes there are those of us that program as a pasttime) is to learn how things work.  Sometimes, just trying to create an algorithm of your own is more instructional than reading someone else's code.  It will likely never go into production, or it may lead to more informed algorithms.
Before interrogating incentives, consider being helpful.

Why would you want your own cipher?
What is wrong with existing ciphers?
They have been carefully designed and reviewed (as far as we can trust the
crypto community) where your own cipher might contain security holes. Don't
you think?

Hi all;

Could anyone tell me is it possible that i add my own cipher algorithm and
take it in concideration in the SSL negociation process???
I've asked this question before but it seems that no one is interrested....
