-Even though SILC were just released 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.

-I stopped writing the SILC later in 1997 when I got busy at school and
-in work. The pause lasted several months. The development resumed in
-1998 when my friend (Juha Räsänen) and I implemented ElGamal algorithm.
-I rewrote some other parts as well. However, for the same reasons as
-previously the development stopped again. I resumed the development
-later in 1998 by doing rewrite of the SILC in C++. This was obviously
-a mistake but at that time it seemed like a good idea. Again, in the
-winter 1999 I got very busy writing my thesis and was forced to stop the
-development again. I also, started a new job in the spring.

-Later, in 1999, I decided that this time I'm going to make it the right
-way. C++ was obviously a bad choice so I decided to fall back to plain
-C language. I also decided to do complete rewrite and started doing
-more thorough planning of what the SILC actually should include. I also
