[ESultanik]

Hi, I'm Evan Sultanik, author of this toy cryptosystem. (Emphasis on "toy.") My intention was never for this to be a commercial grade cryptosystem, nor was the focus ever on truly securing the ciphertext. I suggest you read the PoC||GFTO article from issue 0x04, as it goes into more detail about the motivations than my short blog post. My claims about the probability of a key existing in the public domain that decrypts a given ciphertext to any desired plaintext makes the assumption that the ciphertexts and plaintexts are all English language books. This was glazed over in my blog post (once again, cf. PoC||GTFO 0x04). The math behind that claim was first developed in an older blog post: http://www.sultanik.com/blog/copyright-quandry which itself was motivated by a much more abstract thought experiment in what it means to infringe upon a copyright.
