I am a software engineer by profession and a mathematics undergraduate in the evenings. I speak French, and I am generally interested in operating systems. My corner of the web is here and you might be interested in code I have written.

revised Replacing the Rijndael S-Box?
Changed the title to (perhaps?) better reflect the question - added the block-cipher tag.

comment Necessity of Randomness of Salts?
@PaĆ­lo Thomas answers this in his comment with the two-password same salt problem. Perhaps I should have a 3) for that? Also, there is a practical consideration - what happens if you change user name for any reason? You'd need to recompute the hash, so you'd need the password to be input. That may or may not be acceptable to you.
