I had already done some casual work on factorising large numbers in Ada-83. I had been introduced to cryptography by one Dr. Chalabi who I had asked to read my stuff on vector factoring (see "Factoring of Vectors in Vector Cryptography" http://www.adacrypt.com)- he was active in cryptography - I soon saw an algorithm in vector factoring that is a one-way function in mathematics that is imminently suitable for cryptography - it was pure instinct from there onwards but I was convinced that the system structures of Ada-95 were ideal for what I wanted to do in cryptography. The mathematical algorithm was very transparent to me but it was going to be a problem at the time to implement it in Ada due largely to my inexperience of programming in Ada-95 - I repeat that mathematical instinct was the driving force - its the only thing I claim to have in abundance - I have taught myself enough Ada just to complete this work - I am a retired engineer and although I revere Ada programming I have no reason to go any deeper into it in a general way - adacrypt
