Reception

Critical reception for McDermott's work has been mixed to positive. Publishers Weekly praised Hunt for Atlantis[5] and The Covenant of Genesis.[6]

gollark: ... yes?
gollark: Cryptography, especially asymmetric (public-key/key exchange/whatever) cryptography, involves complicated maths and stuff, and implementing that yourself (or worse, coming up with your own algorithms) is a bad idea.
gollark: There are some libraries which do secure communications stuff for you. One of my projects uses ECNet or something.
gollark: The counter would be part of the encrypted data, so I guess the answer is "possibly yes but you would need to capture a lot of encrypted packets to do it".
gollark: Or connection.
