Then what does the MDC thing have to do with any of this?

  It's an archaic premodern construction that cryptographers hate but that hasn't been demolished in a paper yet, in part because lots of people use SSH and very few people seriously use PGP. I'm confused, though: what would it have to do with you?

    >...hasn't been demolished in a paper yet... OpenPGP gets a fair amount of academic scrutiny. What is going to change that would allow someone to find a weakness in OCFB-MDC at this late date? Also, why do you care so much that you bring it up out of nowhere in unrelated contexts?

      Not really, no, it doesn't. I don't understand your second question.
