Solitaire is a top-notch pencil-and-paper encryption system developed
|
|
by Bruce Schneier. Here is the description in Schneier's own words:
|
|
|
|
"Solitaire gets its security from the inherent randomness in a
|
|
shuffled deck of cards. By manipulating this deck, a communicant
|
|
can create a string of "random" letters that he then combines with
|
|
his message. Of course Solitaire can be simulated on a computer,
|
|
but it is designed to be implemented by hand.
|
|
|
|
"Solitaire may be low-tech, but its security is intended to be
|
|
high-tech. I designed Solitaire to be secure even against the most
|
|
well-funded military adversaries with the biggest computers and the
|
|
smartest cryptanalysts. Of course, there is no guarantee that someone
|
|
won't find a clever attack against Solitaire, but the algorithm is
|
|
certainly better than any other pencil-and-paper cipher I've ever
|
|
seen."
|
|
|
|
Simple system, easy to use, and relatively fast.
