Subject: 3DES Weakness
Sender: owner-cypherpunks(_at_)cyberpass(_dot_)net
Reply-To: John Young <jya(_at_)pipeline(_dot_)com>
NYT-Markoff reports today on Biham and Knudsen's paper
on 3DES weakness, "Cryptanalysis of the ANSI X9.52
CBCM Mode," noted here a few days ago.
The ANSI X9.F1 committee has held up implementing its
standard as a result, and may have to wait for AES.
Credit is given to the worldwide DES crack.
