really facinating stuff. I'm afraid I need to go back and study this all. I don't trust computer programming of security unless its based on math that forces incomprehensable number of iterations. Mathematicians seem so much more careful than us coders, sometimes.

Wow ... thanks for the summary! I think I saw this the other day but didn't get a chance to read through it until now.

Is this all of my blog posts? Did you categorize all of them into 'best' ? That may be a gross mischaracterization.

I took out a few that didn't seem to fit your general theme. Also I had limited time. Thank you for noticing. That's enough for me, on this one.
