By going to the ridiculous extreme of 55,000 bit encryption I thought it was clear that remaining in a "256-bit" world was a little old-hat. I was trying to expand thinking to something beyond that by demonstrating that you could achieve good encryption in other ways - more simple ways than AES.
I thought that it might be a good idea to expand ideas a bit. I know prof's have lesson plans worked out on AES SPNs. I just wonder if surrendering your ability to think is in the best interests of the future. I s***est that progress is not made by followers, or those who defend the Status Quo.
