From: adacrypt on 16 Jun 2010 03:11 The portability of Ada by means of its packages is one of the great advantages to be gained from using it as a language for encryption. The concept of Mutual database Technology being promoted by me completely obviates the key distribution problem that has soaked up so much wasted effort by cryptographers in the past 40 years. That wasted effort evolved from the use of encapsulation cryptography that required keys to be distributed between entities (Simon Singh The Code Book). It is made redundant now by a one-off secure delivery of a database during the setting up of a secure crypto scheme that even if it means using a trusted live courier to do this the expense is justified by the fact of it being a once in a lifetime occurrence i.e. once in the lifetime of the secure loop. Although the problem of key distribution is overcome there is still a need for global network construction that involves sending database components like arrays of integers around the globe to set up communications loops between entities. The packages that comprise a mutual database need to be customised and then sent to the entities of new loops. Using Ada packages greatly facilitates this by enabling non-specialist operatives to prepare them off-line, create libraries, sent packages by unsecured email keep management records etc. The equivalent containers of other languages are not nearly as accommodating in that respect - adacrypt
