- How about an encryption function that converts SOME PART of SOME
- TRANSCENDENTAL
- to a legible message? The receiver and the sender both know the number,
- and the sender's function picks some random starting point (hopefully
- well along in the expansion). Ah, computation of Taylor's series form
- of some interesting number (like tan(36) ... I happen to be 36)
