Do you think that the code at https://github.com/malardj/ slice, that uses
neither encryption nor a password, could help a community proof their
communications from massive systemic eavesdropping by making the latter
computationally impractical or financially unsustainable? Do you think that a
tool like that would be valuable if it existed? Would you think of some
yourself that everyone could use?
I am unaffiliated with any institution but I would like to setup a contest for
the best such algorithm or procedure that does not involve cryptography and
that can be implemented by any group of ordinary citizens for the purpose of
proofing their Internet communications of ASCII characters from systemic
eavesdropping.
I need help setting up the rules of competition ( i never did this), finding
judges (I am totally unqualified), finding (virtual) places where to announce
and hold the competition. I would welcome your suggestion on how to make this
contest more relevant to all. Can you help, or suggest where to look for help?
The code above is a quick example of the type of entries that I have in mind.
It consists in a C++ program that inputs a character string, slices it and
shuffles those slices into a javascript program that displays the input when it
is run. The method purports to hamper the work of automated keyword harvesters.
The available code does not support html text but that capacity is not be
hard to add.
