Implementing and testing SKIPJACK from the NIST spec was a simple straightforward ~2 hour programming exercise. Example code is available from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/skipjack.tar.gz SKIPJACK is not that particularly interesting, except that it looks like it was designed by people who are also responsible for designing brute-force keysearch farms. I found the so far three published papers from AES contributor groups much more exciting. Markus -- Markus G.
