    ----
As of Thursday, July 29th, 2004, a system of guidelines will be issued for those who wish to post challenges related to trivial, classical ciphers, and those who wish to propose new, practical designs for modern ciphers. To ensure that these are "security-oriented" posts, we kindly ask that you follow the appropriate system of rules. We've devised these rules for the sole purpose of supporting the exercise of cryptanalytical methodology, from a cryptographer's point of view.

Challenges for trivial, classical ciphers:



Proposals for practical, modern ciphers:



When available and where applicable:



This system of rules is quite generous, and a minimum prerequisite in the eyes of a cryptographer or cryptanalyst. This allows the promotion of cryptanalysis to exist, the way it should exist, without the forum becoming stagnant with vague requests and poorly-prepared challenges. After all, we wish to promote pro-active security philosophies - not become a repository for pointless contests. It's about consuming knowledge - not time.

Once again, we value your cooperation in maintaining the organization and unique nature of Security Forums Dot Com.
