Hooray!!!
Kudos to Matt for actually posting something outside of the tiresome "Eric
Hughes is a lame-o" thread!!! (Which, by the way, I agree with Tim that it is
a sign of health on the list. I would also like to say that I'm not going to
post my opinion.)
I intend to read and comment accordingly on the MacGuffin document.
It's refreshing to see someone coding crypto.

Bruce Schneier and I have been designing a block cipher, called
"MacGuffin", based on a new variant of the standard Feistel (S-P)
network structure. We are presenting a paper describing the cipher,
entitled "The MacGuffin Block Cipher Algorithm", at the
Leuven crypto algorithms workshop later this month. Here's the
abstract:
<stuff deleted>
A forthcoming paper will discuss the characteristics GUFN structure
in more detail.
Comments and analysis greatly appreciated.
