What algorithms besides IDEA and 3xDES are extremely difficult to break? I remember hearing something about a relatively new algorithm employed by the UN. Does anyone know anything about this? Also, Terry Ritter posted something about an algorithm he developed. Has anyone evaluated this? Thank you in advance, Robert Egendorf
