I feel that the Ultra Paranoid Extreme Hardcore Encryption An Idiot's Guide thread started over in the cryptography section by Bungle is worthy of a mention. |

I think that this thread really demonstrates that the science of cryptography can be daunting to anyone who just wants to 'get things done'. |

To summarize the thread, Bungle was basically asking for how so called 'experts', who understand the cryptography, go about actually using it. He was inquiring about which programs and ciphers to use and what parameters to specify. This resulted in a very large amount of interesting discussion which touched on a variety of subjects including creating known-good versions of encryption programs that have had their source code checked by a member of sfdc, key size, tempest technology, rainbow cracking, authentication and data integrity, and the possible creation of 'how-to' guides for people who need help with their cryptography needs. |

This thread spurred me on to create a few more tutorials for 'newbies', which will hopefully be up on sfdc soon. So from me it's a 'well done' to Bungle for starting such an interesting thread. |
