-Solitaire is a unique encryption system designed by renowned cryptographer
-Bruce Schneier, based on the manipulation of a deck of playing cards.
-While ingeniously crafted for manual execution by a human, this system
-can also be implemented computationally.
+Solitaire is an encryption system based on a deck of cards by Bruce
+Schneier. Although it is designed to be worked out by a human, it can
+work on computers. This is the reference implementation programmed in
+Perl. The program itself is installed as 'solitaire', and the source
+code and test vectors are installed in share/doc/solitaire.
-This package provides the reference implementation of the Solitaire
-encryption algorithm, programmed in Perl. It serves as a faithful
-digital representation of Schneier's original design, allowing for
-both study and practical application.
-
-Key components installed:
-
-- **solitaire executable**: The primary program for performing
- encryption and decryption.
-- **Source code and test vectors**: Located in share/doc/solitaire,
- these resources are invaluable for understanding the algorithm's
- mechanics and verifying its correctness.
-
-**IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE**: Before relying on this implementation for
-any real-world security applications, it is strongly advised to
-thoroughly read the official website and understand the nuances and
-limitations of the Solitaire algorithm.
+Please read the web site below before relying on this for real security.
