The program would allow a user to enter a password key, plus text to encrypt or decrypt with the given key. The 2600 would perform the necessary crypto and display the results, which could be transcribed by hand and passed to friends or other international arms dealers (just kidding...) Copy protection isn't the point of the exercise. Free, unrestricted cryptography in 4K of 2600 code is :) > Well, THIS I'd buy.

I'd only sell it to U.S. citizens, but it'll make a hell of a prop during upcoming crypto debates in Congress. -- Archives updated once/day at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsubscribing and other info at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html
