                                 CELLBOX LEGAL ISSUES
                                 ====================

Cellbox created using open and free encryption algorythm called Anubis. Description and source codes of algorythmn 
are in public domain and located here: http://www.larc.usp.br/~pbarreto/AnubisPage.html

Authors of ANUBIS block cipher: Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto

Home page of Anubis contains explicit statement: "ANUBIS is not (and will never be) patented. It may be used free 
of charge for any purpose". 

I have written messages to authors saying that I'm using their algorythm, they have responded to me with
congratulations like:

Dear Pavel, 

That's a nice work indeed. May I suggest that you upgrade the hash function to a member of the SHA-2 
family or Whirlpool? It's not considered safe for medium- to long-term security, and NIST itself announced 
that SHA-1 will be phased off no later than 2010.

Best wishes,

Paulo.
