[Liverpool] Fw: [ORG-discuss] Come see Bruce Schneier talk in London

[Simon Johnson]

Twofish was designed principally by Wagner and Ferguson.

All he does it take other people's work and attaches his name to it. Where
the work *is* his own, it usually sucks.

 Two cases in point; Blowfish is a horrible design and Solitaire had a
straightforward bias.

Cheers,

Simon
