Hi,

In my view binary representation is what is holding up the progress of cryptography.  It is short-sightedly ring-fencing current crypto research in binary number-work to the exclusion of all the vast possibilities that exist in decimal mathematics.  This is an appalling mistake.

No I will not be getting my head around bytes 'n streams as you suggest - that is retrogressive.

Binary arithmetic is only useful for demonstrating machine code to very young students.
