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.
