NAME

TCrypt - a nontrivial implementation of a public key cipher

SYNOPSIS

TYPE Cipher = POINTER TO CipherRec;
TYPE CipherRec = RECORD (AsymmetricCiphers.CipherRec) END;
PROCEDURE Create(VAR key: Ciphers.Cipher);

DESCRIPTION

TCrypt provides an implementation of a special public key system called TCRYPT. The algorithm was created by Prof. R. Trautner of the University of Ulm.

Create creates a cipher key for the TCRYPT public key system. This cipher differs in some manners from usual public key ciphers as it's composed function is not the identity map.
