    2.3. How do I present a new encryption scheme in sci.crypt?

    "I just came up with this neat method of encryption. Here's some
    ciphertext: FHDSIJOYW^&%$*#@OGBUJHKFSYUIRE. Is it strong?'' Without a
    doubt questions like this are the most annoying traffic on sci.crypt.

    If you have come up with an encryption scheme, providing some
    ciphertext from it is not adequate. Nobody has ever been impressed by
    random gibberish. Any new algorithm should be secure even if the
    opponent knows the full algorithm (including how any message key is
    distributed) and only the private key is kept secret. There are some
    systematic and unsystematic ways to take reasonably long ciphertexts
    and decrypt them even without prior knowledge of the algorithm, but
    this is a time-consuming and possibly fruitless exercise which most
    sci.crypt readers won't bother with.
