Contested prod. This is about a cipher that is web-published, not published in any reliable source, not peer-reviewed. It was part of a walled garden with Imran Shaik and Definite Avalanche, both of which were deleted through PROD. The article was created by User:Iashaik; the algorithm inventor is Imran Shaik.

• Delete. If this were a cipher taken seriously by the crypto community, I'd expect to see some hits for it in Google scholar, but I couldn't find any. —David Eppstein 17:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's because the sources are all encrypted, so the joke's on you! Actually, the sources are an apparently pending M.Sc. thesis, and a website that doesn't contain (or at least cannot find, see first sentence) any reference to the article subject. Delete unless independent fverification of notability can be established. Sheffield Steel^talk_stalk 20:47, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
