[Cryptix-users] CollegeBoard Online - IDEA Cipher

[noreen <nor...@gm...>]

Hi Users!

I am trying to generate a key with the following specifications: Type: RSA/RSA Legacy  Size: 1024 Cipher: IDEA using any java cryptix class.

Apparently the Cipher IDEA is patented. Therefore it is not available with freeware cryptix packages.

Has anyone worked on encrypting and decrypting CollegeBoard SAT scores? Where and how did you buy the IDEA cipher from?

Thank you!
Noreen

If they can get a version of the freeware we can try it to see if we can use it.  As long as an encryption key is compatible with our system, it will work.  To be compatible a key needs have the following specifications: Type: RSA/RSA Legacy  Size: 1024 Cipher: IDEA.  If you can download the freeware and create this key we will be able to use it.

If you do send us a key, please include all of the contact information.  We need name of the school, code number, contact name, email and phone number for a primary and secondary contact.  Once we have a compatible key, we will send a test file.

The schools that are affiliated with affiliated schools, usually have the contact in the states order the software for them.  We recommend the PGP professional desktop for 83.00 US dollars a year.  It is not necessary
