Hi Oliver,
Are you sure about the address?
whois or traceroute don't recognize the domain (at least not yet)

btw. How amazing, last night I was looking after alternative (to
libtomcrypt) public domain/ BSD sources for SHA-512. Oliver could you
consider licensing Toms license into your SHA sources? Many of the
most widespread sources for a individual algorithms seem to be public
domain. My observation is that as time goes by, the most popular
sources for any individual algotithm will be those with the most
liberal license. Also most/many/some/one public domain code
utilizer(s) have no difficulty in remembering to credit the original
authors vounteerly.
