In response to the numerous requests for us to post the key that we used
to produce the almost 200 megabytes of raw encryptor stream at our web
site, we are pleased to provide the ASCII values of same as follows:

As explained at the web site, that key is expanded to an 8192 byte key and
used as described therein.
www.netprivacy.com
In order for those few who have not had the opportunity to check it out,
we will leave it up another week and then take it down and put up a
new shorter one, maybe a 2,560,000 byte one permanently and a monthly
2,560,000 byte one where we publish the key each month.
Of course, no university, coderpunk, or cypherpunk, or any collection of
same, has broken the system, nor will they ever. As most of you now
know, it is absolutely unbreakable. We have had over 100 universities,
IBM, Microsoft, Intel, hundreds of other corporations, several dozen
different government agencies, and thousands of other individuals to
download the data and look at the algorithm. Of course, like everyone
else, they have been benighted, even if some of them will not own up to
it.
Several people have requested me to provide a narrative description of the
algorithm explaining why the raw encryptor output stream seems to be so
remarkably random. I am preparing such a document and it should be ready
next week, or the week after. I will post it accordingly.
Thanks so very much,
Don Wood
