Subject: WNSTORM210 INFORMATION

Hi there.  At some point you either
requested WNSTORM from me and I'm now
sending you an update or you just
requested it and I'm sending to you for
the first time, or I know you and
think you might be interested in WNSTORM.

WNSTORM (White Nouse Storm) is a
new cryptography and steganography software
package which I'm developing.
You can use WNSTORM to encrypt your files to
keep prying eyes from
invading your privacy.  You can use WNSTORM to hide
files, be they text,
or otherwise within PCX images (other image formats will
be supported in
the future.)

WNSTORM's method of hiding files in PCX images is very
secure.  With the right
kind of image, you won't even see any changes
made to the picture unless you
look very very closely, and even then you
are unlikely to recognize that there
is hidden data in the image.  (Some
images don't work well, others work very
well.)

You can then take the
PCX image containing the hidden data and send it to your
friend, or post
it up publicly on the alt.binary.pictures.* or whatever.  Only
you and
anyone you share the password with can get at the hidden data file!

More
importantly, the intended recipient of the picture does not have to have
a
previous copy of the image to get at the hidden data.

WNSTORM is also
an encryption system.  Unlike conventional systems, WNSTORM
uses random
numbers to hide and encrypt your file.  (see documentation for
technical
details.)  WNSTORM's encryption uses elements of frequency hopping
(also
known as spread spectrum transmissions) but instead of using it over
radio waves, it uses it on your files.  It does this by breaking up your
file into eight separate channels and mixing in anywhere between 16 to
240
other bogus random noise channels with your eight data channels.  The
number of bogus channels varies with each byte taken from your file.  The
position (similar to a frequency of a channel used by spread spectrum 
communications) depends on the values in the bogus channels as well as
your
password.   The password can be upto 150 characters (that's 1200
bits) however
this can easily be changed to longer passwords.

All the
source code for WNSTORM and its supporting programs is also included.
It's there for you to examine and see that there are no back doors, and
to
modify so as to improve it.

WNSTORM is >FREE<, but not public domain.
You may freely use it and give
copies away to anyone you like.  (see
documentation for license information.)


Enjoy.
