I am also thinking of creating a key pair for sci.crypt, so that we
no longer have to use SCOS, because SCOS was floating around on
Bitmessage, as C, Pascal and Go code.
Do note that SCOS was not intended to be "secure" (for most definitions
of that word). Richard H. posted it as an exercise in breaking a
cipher given just examples of the cipher's output. It fits in as a
somewhat more difficult ROT13 than as a true "protection" for anything
posted with it.
It is interesting that source for it is on bitmessage.
