From the Cypherpunks mailing list, February 5-6, 1996:
“To follow up on a post last year where I suggested that Rabin’s information dispersal scheme might be useful for sending large files across unreliable remailer networks, I built a shareware package called Disperse/Collect out of my own Crypto++ library. Disperse splits up files into redundant pieces and encodes them in base 64. Collect decodes them and reconstructs the original files. You can download this software from my home page at
