Hey, you don't even need to do that. I was hanging around the
computer building in college, and gave a whoop of triumph when I
discovered that the encryption method I had been developing actually
did provide (mathematically proven) unbreakable code. Within 24
hours, I was talking to a couple gentlemen from an unnamed security
agency, who advised me to avoid publishing my work. I told them that
before I'd consign my work to the trashcan, I'd need a good reason.
They provided one.
Maybe it's time to publish that algorithm now. After all strong crypto
has been available for quite a while now.
