From: Austin Obyrne Injection-Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2014 17:20:41 +0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Xref: news.eternal-september.org comp.lang.ada:23983 Date: 2014-12-14T09:20:40-08:00 List-Id: This cryptography is complete now and several variants of the original ciph= er are up and running. The focus all along has been on getting the core algorithm satisfactory wit= h the outlook that anything else outside of that while still being under th= e general umbrella of cryptology is more to do with management of the infra= structure that has this algorithm as its core. No less important but a sepa= rate thing! The cipher has been nominally been described as ASCII orientated (character= s 32 ...126 incl.) but the real scope is that of the entire Latin_1 Charact= er set 0 ... 255 and this is available to users. In the Ada programming language the type CHARACTER is an enumeration type t= hat is built in to the Ada package STANDARD and CHARACTER can take all the = values represented by 8 bits in Latin_1. The cipher documentation that goes with this cipher makes heavy use of the = ASCII subset since this is the most used part of the full scope of 'CHARACT= ER' that readers may want to become familiar with initially but the full La= tin_1 set is there also for users to use. I have included some demonstrati= on programs of the use of the full Latin_1 set in the ciphers that have bee= n uploaded to http://www.adacryptpages.com The way this cipher works is that the main program is a LOOP that calls eac= h item of plaintext, - character by character from a prepared file and encr= ypts each one in each single pass of the loop and continuing until the end-= of-file is reached and the loop is terminated.=20 *We piped and you didn't dance. I have been harassed by some readers with claims that there are ways by whi= ch 'any' data can be called (whatever that means)and encryption will still = work. They seem to be saying that this is done by user-defined enumeration= types that can be used instead of ASCII or Latin-1. This ploy will not w= ork in this cipher and at best will not be viable long-term in the science = of cryptology. All programming languages in the WEST at least have this same enumeration t= ype called CHARACTER in Ada, as standard.=20 I repeat - "ASCII" is a nominal description of this cryptography - it is n= ot a limitation. =20 Adacrypt
