I just had the greatest Idea for an encryption contest. I have been studying encryption for a while now and wanted to see what you guys can come up with. This contest is very open to almost any implementation and algorithm.
ENCRYPTION CONTEST
Here are the specifications for the contest:
- Can be any method (including substitution or tables)
- Must be portable
- Needs to be able to encrypt or decrypt any type of file
- Needs to be your own work
Here is how they will be scored:
- Algorithm Implementation
- Security
- Speed
- Portability
- And most of all: CREATIVITY
Here are some coding rules:
- Code needs to be commented
- Code needs to be readable
- Code needs to work
- Contestants must explain their algorithm
Code will be sorted into groups depending on the implementation. So don't worry if you think your algorithm isn't advance, it could still get first place in your group.
The deadline is on: July 30th, 2005
Please PM me your code (private message)
