[PLUG] New Attack on AES

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

Since this came up at last month's PLUG N (I think) meeting:

http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/07/new_attack_on_a.html
	"There's a new cryptanalytic attack on AES that is [very slightly] 
better than brute force [...]"

"[very slightly]" added by me.

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
