Do you really think the NSA would tell the outside world if they discovered a weakness?
People thought the same thing about DES. It turned out that the NSA had indeed tweaked the algorithm: they made it stronger!, so it could resist an attack the outside world had not discovered yet.
However, the Rijndael algorithm is independently specified from the implementation. It is quite easy to verify the correctness of the implementation using the official test vectors.
Have a look at this table from a paper by Arjen Lenstra and Eric Verheul. 128 bits of security should be more than enough until way beyound the year 2040 according to them.
Distributed.net would need 2^64 more times processor power to crack Rijndael than it needs to crack RC5-64... so don't expect that to happen soon.
Cryptix releases it's Java implementation of Rijndael in the public domain. The BSD licensed Cryptix is also the first crypto toolkit that officially supports the AES.
2. Why won't crypto be included? To me, ssl is a core functionality of a browser, as any purchases I make using a credit card better have ssl.
Because the US government does not like people to export crypto. So they are unable to put ssl code online.
Netscape is internally working on their own version of mozilla with crypto. Of course, this will be released as binary only with a special crippled version for non-US people.
Your algorithm TwoFish has already received a great deal of positive reactions and also in my opinion it is one of the best AES candidates (though I also really like Rijndael)
I wonder however what you think about the recent inclusion of TwoFish in popular products like SSH and GnuPG. Isn't this against the standard procedure in the cryptography world that algorithms should be tested and analyzed extensively before they are trusted and used?
Only if you are a competitor selling candy and you are trying to get more visitors to your site by using the Pez trademark, then a court can stop you from doing this.
Things like product reviews are no trademark infringements and therefore allowed, regardless of what they say in their legal blurb.

I have looked at the source and there are some issues with it. For example: on connection setup the random number generator is seeded with the current date/time.
I contacted them and they confirmed that these issues are known and that they are working on a new version.

Hmm... guess I should have used the preview button.
This is a known problem with glibc 2.0 and lower.
Read this newsgroup posting for more information.
Also, bug #8849 contains a lot of info:

Probably not...
unless... you write it!
Now that is the cool thing with mozilla: if you really want a feature you can write it youself. It should not even be that hard with XUL only.

I asked tech support and after they manually added a record of my nameserver in the root database I was able to add the server.
If you do not believe it: go and have a look at one of my domains, for example woudt.org
> set type=ns
> woudt.org
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
woudt.org nameserver = DNS4.REGISTER.COM
woudt.org nameserver = CYPHERPUNKS.AI
woudt.org nameserver = DNS3.REGISTER.COM

I think AMD really is too soon with this. Shouldn't they concentrate on delivering enough Athlons first?
