{ Several theorists suggest that this is a secret communication
station for a secret society, agency, or government, to be used
to communicate in an unbreakable, bizarre cipher. Several major
events and military exercises that have taken place during
intercepts of w3bk3rn3l's radio transmissions back the theory }

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform some
other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the disks) during
the prime generation; this gives the random number generator a better chance
to gain enough entropy.

It seems my messages are not being encrypted!
For the last few hours I’ve been busy compiling a batch of files with most of the source code of the KG-84 encryption algorithm. The code here compiles and runs using the WBKNL language on the L73 operating system, over an ISB circuit.
The code is decidedly non-portable. Parts of it are written in WBKNL assembly (e.g. .wkl and .w3b files). Other parts are written in M-WBKNL (e.g. k3r* files). There may be still other parts that require additional language translators.
I don’t know whether you’ll be able to decipher my messages, because there is no guarantee that parts of the source code aren’t missing.
