Crypto: 2040bit Schluessel für Europa

Diese sind gute News, kein Zweifel. Prima ist auch die
Marketing/partie des Ver/treibers Atlantic Coast PLc, weil
sie verbreitet, dass dies Pro/gramm
ein Siebzehnjähriger geschrieben hat.

A 17 year-old UK schoolboy has written what is claimed to be
the strongest encryption available in the UK - using an
unbreakable 2040 bits compared with 56-bit favored by
western governments. Peter Parkinson's Unbreakable
Encryption program has been snapped on by online software
sales organization Atlantic Coast Plc and is available from
their web site at $59 for a single user license.
While major software companies are barred from exporting
encryption stronger than 56-bit by governments expressing
fears that they will be unable to track criminal or
terrorist groups, mathematics student Peter took just six
months part-time work to come up with a program based on the
well-known RC4 algorithm. For those organizations that wish
to shield their information from the eyes of governments,
obtaining strong encryption software poses little problem -
companies in countries like Ireland are filling lucrative
gaps in the market created by export bans.
