[Cryptography Team] RE: Cryptography

[Ron Teitelbaum]

Wonderful!

I think that having someone that is focused on the usage side, that can help
to write tools, and that can help to use cryptology, or to have as a model
for how to use cryptology would be terrific.

I've added you to the repositories.  Please let us know if you need help
getting started, and feel free to post your code.  I would assume that your
application is for ciphers.  Since the code in the ciphers would be
necessary for your code to work, how about you put it there (the repository
for cryptography ciphers on squeak source)?  That way we can take a look.

Also consider learning more about the implementation side, or staying up
with the projects we are working on.  There is no better way to build tools
then to understand in a broad way the technology that is used, or why they
exist and for what purpose they were invented.  We are starting with ASN.1
which is really a communication protocol.  

Thanks for your participation and welcome to the team!

Ron

Ron, I am interested in being part of this.  I have been studying and
working
on a Cryptography facade for the last couple of months and really enjoying
the
fruits of this labor.  Its called "KryptOn" and I plan to share it real soon
now.

My understanding of Cryptography is more on the usage side though, not the
implementation side..  I don't have the math skills to fix/maintain/develop
the
actual cryptographic algorithms, just a pretty good understanding of their
proper usage, and key management, etc.
