Philip,
I'm quite interested in the DSS stuff but I suspect you won't be
wanting to send it to me at this address..! However there is a group at MIT
who will hopefully be redoing my Shen security stuff for WWW in the USA to
comply with export laws, silly patents etc etc.
On a technical note, how long does DSS take to compute. I'm using
RSA at the moment - not the best for speed. Its tolerable on my machines
but then again the slowest thing I use is 120 Spec marks. Is DSS fast?
Within an organisation the speed does not matter much because we
can easily use a public key system to export symetric keys that are valid
for a fairly long time (an hour to a day). Going over the wideband network
everything gets stickier.
Phill.
