-Even though SILC were released in summer 2000 to the public the idea and the protocol itself is quite old. I got the idea about SILC in its current form in the year 1996 and first lines of codes were written in early 1997. This release is now third rewrite of the SILC. The very first version were written in 1997 and it included SILC client and very very preliminary SILC server. The server actually weren't usable but the client looked pretty much the same as it does now. At that time the SILC also included RSA implementation and 3DES implementation. The random number generator that exists in this current release is actually based on the RNG written in 1997. The RNG written in 1997, on the other hand, were based on the SSH's random number generator. The RNG has been rewritten twice since the first version.
