[Cryptography] Crypto Books, 2017

[Ray Dillinger]

It occurs to me that I haven't actually seen a detailed treatment of
cryptographic palimpsets in any book.

Does any existing application or protocol use them, or do they remain
just a theory at this point?

I see a source-forge / Google code project named "Palimpsest" which
seems to be implementing .... uh, as near as I can tell an insecure
and easily broken use of a one-time pad for a combination of several
messages.  D'oh!  Somebody misinterpreted a description and rolled
his own algorithm.....
