Chaffing/Winnowing Available

Karl Fogel writes "Ben Sussman and I have written a demo implementation of Ron Rivest's "Chaffing & Winnowing" algorithm, which we first heard about on Slashdot (it's now also mentioned in the July issue of Wired Magazine). Get the implementation or read Rivest's original paper The ciphertext output is designed to have an appearance closely resembling the packets discussed in Rivest's paper. I wouldn't use this package for your life-and-death, top-secret communications, but on the other hand it's a fun way to send semi-secret messages and use up a LOT of bandwidth in the process. Of course, it's GNU GPL'd, and -- as far as we know -- free of export restrictions. Enjoy!, -Karl Fogel "
