I try to be as rigorous as I can be. My test cases for Chaocipher are
taken from your site and the paper, I should try to create some more.
I still have some more basic building blocks to write (irregular
transposition for example) although my framework seems to be rather
nice (see the Cipher::ChaoCipher or the ADFGVX class).

I will have a look, thanks.

Thanks for the Chaocipher site. I just registered on the Crypto forum
BTW (although I much prefer Usenet's way).

Thanks for that pointer as well, do you still have the source code for
that somewhere?
