[ANNOUNCE] Just to avoid any confusion...

[David McNett]

Just to avoid any undue confusion, it looks as if RSA Labs has re-badged
the upcoming DES-II-3 challenge as "DES-III" and re-structured the 
time frames for the three levels of win.

To grab the full US$10,000 we will need to submit the winning key within
24 hours of the contest start.  Failing that, we'll collect US$5,000 if
we're within 48 hours.  Waiting until 56 hours yields only US$1,000 and
beyond that it's purely academic.

Contest is scheduled to begin at 09:00 PST on 18-Jan-1999.
