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.

Ok, understand.

It is interesting that source for it is on bitmessage.

It has been a while since it was posted. New users may not be able
to fetch it, because Bitmessage has a TTL parameter.
