invitation.
This is a personal invitation for you to join the insured $100,000
Whitenoise Security Challenge at
http://www.wnlabs.com/WhitenoiseSecurityChallenge
. You are free to use the purported Whitenoise break by Hongjun Wu as
posted at
http://eprint.iacr.org/2003/250 for a specification of
patented Whitenoise at
http://eprint.iacr.org/2003/249.
You may collaborate as a team with him or with any colleague in the
United States or Canada to comply with contest regulations. The
Whitenoise Security Challenge provides 1,000,000 bytes of the key
stream. The reply to Hongjun Wu's claim is found at:
http://www.wnlabs.com/Papers/Response.pdf.
Scientific method and actual public demonstration are more highly
valued and respected than public commentary. The purpose of the
contest is to shed light on the credibility of claims made. Let your
professional colleagues know about this challenge.
