Editor’s Note: Oct. 25 marks NetworkWorld.com’s 10th anniversary. We launched the site from NetWorld+Interop in Atlanta (remember those?), where Novell talked about a “SuperNOS” to unite NetWare and Unix and Bay Networks and Cabletron had booths. What are your 1995 networking memories? Let us know in the forum we’ve set up to recall networking then.agaffin@nww.com

3) Deciphering the world of crypto

It’s the computational magic for scrambling data to keep it secret, and in the U.S., the best-known cryptographic algorithms go by names such as Triple-DES and AES. But in other countries, such as South Korea, Russia and Japan, it is SEED, GOST and Camellia that say security, say nothing of specialized cryptos such as CAVE and A5/1.
