In the ideal world the Blockquote tag should only be used if you are actually quoting somehting.
If you want to create a sub-subheading, may I recommend the tags rather than nesting subheaders in blockquotes?

The brief listing in "Who uses cryptography?" should include telephone systems and car/garage keys. At the moment your examples make it look like a much narrower field than it is.

You could link to Counterpane Systems' site on the Pontifex, for a *fairly* easy do-it-yourself cipher. It also links to programs you can download or run to encrypt and decrypt online.
You could also mention Indigo- the Japanese crypto machine

Another thought. You could add a section about Authentification Certificates and where to get them, including links.

If you have any updates to make, why not let Sam know (if he is the sub-editor)? I'm sure he would be happy to accommodate them.

"I guess for my next entry, I'll remember to have it totally polished and working before I submit it for Peer Review... maybe sending it to the Writer's Workshop first..!"
I've always viewed "peer review" as a polishing centre so to speak...

Matthew G P Coe Posted Oct 22, 2003
Well true... but in this case it got picked before it was totally polished!
