Bbruin, it has nothing to do with whether or not i like the person. I simply want to able to check on whoever tests the product to find out what their credentials and background are...and what their rep in the security industry is... I want to know that someone with more skills than a two-bit hack (pun intended) took a really hard look at this... I really don't care who tests it... but (skeptic that I am) ... I need to check them out for myself.. There must be 100 + well-respected cryptographers out there (most of whom i have never heard of)... any will do... Bruce Schneier just happens to be one of the best known ... and he publishes a lot of work on algorithms that are not his own.... Testing an algorithm is a matter of mathematics, science, not opinion... a weakness is a weakness... it is provable... and testable... and i would think that any expert would be an idiot to risk their reputation and their business by making false negative claims... in such academic circles, these things are just not done... Every encryption scheme has its weaknesses.... whether it be brute force guessing or a multitude of common and sophisticated cryptoanalytic attacks... (save, one time pad, theoretically) some are much more susceptible to cracks than others.. some are very strong... and some are crap... and I've spent too much time checkin out this industry to believe that every tiny company out there (there are ten's, maybe more) claiming to have the "world's strongest encryption software" ... and offering million dollar prizes to anyone who can beat their contest... is on the level... I know you've spent a lot of time and effort on this.. and that is commendable... I'm sorry that our opinions differ..... but I think am being reasonable.... here... I can go to tons of websites and find out the strengths and weaknesses of almost every single algorithm out there... even the newest ones... but for the life of me I can't find a single independent reference to L5 outside of Jaws' literature... and that bugs me.... And to be perfectly honest... i wouldn't really care if they weren't making themselves out to be the end all be all of data security.... My recommendation would to do a little due diligence outside of the company... make some phone calls... many of these experts are accessible either through email or otherwise... and ask .... it can't hurt to ask.. and see if they have heard of JAWZ and what their opinion is..... If I'm wrong .. so be it.. it's a definitely possibility.. i don't deny that..... I am simply stating my opinions... As for the stock.. well... that's anyone's guess... the entire market is pretty damn pitiful these days... Enam
