I was bit confused with this link (
http://www.rstcorp.com/news/bad-crypto-tech.html ), since I am not quite
clear if these guys are just reinventing the wheel, or have found
something new.

containts the information which (as much as I can see) does the same
thing which guys from RST are mentioning. The messages dates from April
'99.

Is this just another "Lets get some media attention" thing, or I have
missed some important point?

Thanks.
