Dude my name is Andrew too :D BTW, are you all aware that the TrueCrypt
project is now using LRW (*http://tinyurl.com/dsstj) *"mode of
operation" instead of CBC, which is aparently less secure? This change
applies to the implementation of AES, which SSL utilizes (in conjunction
with RC4?). I'm no cryptologist or skilled hacker like a lot of you here
are, but I thought this development looked like something that might be
important for the development of Tor.
