Preview of New Block Cipher

flaws writes "Secure Science Corp. is offering a preview of one of the 3 ciphers they will be publishing througout the year. The CS2-128 cipher is a 128-bit block cipher with a 128 bit key. This cipher is proposed as a hardware alternative to AES, being that it is more efficient in hardware, simpler to implement, and comparably secure to AES-128. The preview of the CS2-128 cipher proposed is in html form and will be available in a published format at the end of April. At this time, requests are made for casual peer review and implementation. Secure Science will be offering a challenge at the end of April, introducing the cipher to the public. This ciphers implementation and usage will be offered in multiple hardware devices, such as wireless routers, cell-phones, and storage management hardware."

The New Cipher On the Block?

Please don't kill me.

Worse than previewing non-existant products...

Is publicly displaying security ciphers. I mean, I understand they want to make sure it works by distributing the 'source code' to the internet, but things like these need to be kept, yknow, secret....

Security by obscurity, while not the invincible way to go, is still pretty good coupled with a good security system. Here the SSC is giving everyone a look into something that shouldn't be looked at except by those developing/maintaining the system

Hardware based?

Hardware accelerated encryption is a novel idea, but how easy is it to to a "peer review" of something that requires a proprietary device to truly recognize the benefits of it?

BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS DICKHEAD

[Albert Pussyjuice]

Guess what dickhead - you don't know shit about crytography. Shut the fuck up and post again when your balls grow in you fucking faggot. I'm going to hire a bunch of black guys to ass-rape you as punishment you fucking toolshed.

That's right, you're a toolshed; not just a tool, an entire shed of tools. God, you're the most worthless human being ever. For fuck's sake, shove it up your ass you stupid shit. You obviously don't know anything about this topic so why did you have to post? WHY? JUST TO FUCKING MOUTH OFF BECAUSE YOU'RE A STUPID DICK-LICKER WITH NO LIFE AND A NEED TO BE NOTICED?

Here's a hint, your mommy and daddy hate you. Your mom wishes every night that those 15 some years ago, she had given head instead of letting your dad's worthless jizz enter her fat, green, bloated pussy. I hate you.
