Dear Bruce,
I was testing the Raike's Public Key software, when I remembered a section of your excellent book.
In Applied Cryptography, second edition, section 19.10 (page 482) you present the Renji's work about a public key algorithme based on finite automata.
Where could we found the FAPKC1 and FAPKC2 algorithms, their implementations, and executable versions (you mention an Intel486 test).
Many thanks,
With kindest regards
Jean-Paul
