The new algorithm is being tested by executives in the finance department of large multinational companies.

This used a new algorithm for small characteristic fields.

Since this is a complexity result we can't do better by inventing a clever new algorithm.

Of course new algorithms can also be created by writing code.

The result of this feedback was a call for new algorithms on September 12, 1997.

So the C version, which is out just recently, uses a new algorithm to increase this number from 250 domains to 50,000.

This competition energized the search for new and more accurate algorithms.

The new algorithm is 16 million times as secure.

The memory requirements of the newer algorithm were also a concern.

"When we first started, we'd add a new algorithm and it would improve the performance by 10 percent, 15 percent," he says.
