hmm, I believe that a feistal array would also work as a good security measure. I have run across several examples and even talked with one or 2 listmembers here in private about such a scheme. Feistal arrays are inherently stronger than pgp simply because of the design. However, I am not an expert on this, I just know a bit more than the average person. the real expert in this list knows who he is (and I don't need to reveal that identity as this is a "public" forum that is searchable by google, etc).
