Hi,

you most probably have heard about the court case where the presence
of encryption software on a computer was viewed as evidence of
criminal intent.

Plenty of research has been done about information hiding.
But this special court case requires "algorithm hiding" as a kind of
response. Do you know where to look for papers about this subject?

What about designing an algorithm good for encryption which someone
can not prove to be an encryption algorithm?


regards
Hadmut
