:::: I actually know rather more about crypto; while it's certainly not in my comfort zone, it's not ''that'' hard (well, not once you've got a decent arbitrary-size integer library; that's the critical component which it is very difficult to make from scratch). No, my original complaint was that I couldn't find good links to describe what to do or how to validate it; those are key aspects of a good task. (There are some very scary parts of crypto, to be sure, but the actual message verification step isn't one of them, not like key generation or processing the wilder policy parts.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 11:06, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
