cruft /kruhft/   [very common; back-formation from {crufty}] 1. n.    An unpleasant substance.   The dust that gathers under your bed is    cruft; the TMRC Dictionary correctly noted that attacking it with a    broom only produces more.   2. n. The results of shoddy construction.    3. vt. [from `hand cruft', pun on `hand craft'] To write assembler    code for something normally (and better) done by a compiler (see    {hand-hacking}).   4. n. Excess; superfluous junk; used esp. of    redundant or superseded code.   5. [University of Wisconsin] n. Cruft    is to hackers as gaggle is to geese; that is, at UW one properly    says "a cruft of hackers".

cruft together vt.   (also `cruft up') To throw together    something ugly but temporarily workable.   Like vt. {kluge up}, but    more pejorative.   "There isn't any program now to reverse all the    lines of a file, but I can probably cruft one together in about 10    minutes."   See {hack together}, {hack up}, {kluge up}, {crufty}.

crufty /kruhf'tee/ adj.   [very common; origin unknown; poss.    from `crusty' or `cruddy'] 1. Poorly built, possibly over-complex.    The {canonical} example is "This is standard old crufty {DEC}    software".   In fact, one fanciful theory of the origin of `crufty'    holds that was originally a mutation of `crusty' applied to DEC    software so old that the `s' characters were tall and skinny,    looking more like `f' characters.   2. Unpleasant, especially to the    touch, often with encrusted junk.   Like spilled coffee smeared with    peanut butter and catsup.   3. Generally unpleasant.   4. (sometimes    spelled `cruftie') n.   A small crufty object (see {frob}); often one    that doesn't fit well into the scheme of things.   "A LISP property    list is a good place to store crufties (or, collectively, {random}    cruft)."          This term is one of the oldest in the jargon and no one is sure of    its etymology, but it is suggestive that there is a Cruft Hall at    Harvard University which is part of the old physics building; it's    said to have been the physics department's radar lab during WWII.    To this day (early 1993) the windows appear to be full of random    techno-junk.   MIT or Lincoln Labs people may well have coined the    term as a knock on the competition.

cryptography          The practise and study of {encryption} and       {decryption} - encoding data so that it can only be decoded by       specific individuals.   A system for encrypting and decrypting       data is a cryptosystem.   These usually involve an {algorithm}       for combining the original data ("{plaintext}") with one or       more "keys" - numbers or strings of characters known only to       the sender and/or recipient.   The resulting output is known as       "{ciphertext}".          The security of a cryptosystem usually depends on the secrecy       of (some of) the keys rather than with the supposed secrecy of       the {algorithm}.   A strong cryptosystem has a large range of       possible keys so that it is not possible to just try all       possible keys (a "{brute force}" approach).   A strong       cryptosystem will produce ciphertext which appears random to       all standard statistical tests.   A strong cryptosystem will       resist all known previous methods for breaking codes       ("{cryptanalysis}").          See also {cryptology}, {public-key encryption}, {RSA}.          {Usenet} newsgroups: {news:sci.crypt},       {news:sci.crypt.research}.          {FAQ} {MIT       (ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/cryptography-faq/)}.          {Cryptography glossary       (http://www.io.com/~ritter/GLOSSARY.HTM#BruteForceAttack)}.          {RSA cryptography glossary       (http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/faq/glossary.html)}.          {Cryptography, PGP, and Your Privacy       (http://draco.centerline.com:8080/~franl/crypto.html)}.          (2000-01-16)
