Bill Fenner 81797980f7 search.cpan.org redirect reduction canonicalization project, pass 1:
URLs automatically rewritten from /search?dist=Foo or /dist/Foo
to /dist/Foo/ (note trailing slash).  After a 2002(!) reorganization,
this is the preferred way to refer to modules on search.cpan.org.

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.
