[Blindmath] LaTeX and Accessible Documents

[Dániel Hajas]

	Hi Joe,

I am also interested in criptography and would be happy to know more about
your project. 

Where can more info be accessed? Is there a website for the project? Can you
pass me the latex source of documentation/description of the library? Where
can be the library used?

Feel free to find me in persona t hajasdani at freemail.hu so we don't disturbe
the list.

Also to confirm others, latex source, html+math ml would be fairly
accessible. Definitely more than pdf.

Thank you and best wishes,
Daniel

Subject: [Blindmath] LaTeX and Accessible Documents

Howdy folks,
I posted a message very similar to this one on the NFBCS mailing list, and I
was advised to also ask my question here. If you have already responded to
me on the nfbcs list, feel free to repost your response on this list; I
won't take offense. I encourage rereading though, as I've added more info to
this post that wasn't in the original.

I am currently working on a free cryptography library called FCL. Part of
the materials generated from this project are a set of english descriptions
for the ciphers, block cipher modes, hash functions, etc. I plan to
distribute these with the project, and I might compile them together and
distribute them as documents on my web site or something like that.

Having run into the problem of accessibility of mathematical and other
tehcnical material first hand, I had hoped to make these materials
accessible. I used the LaTeX type setting system to write these documents. I
could simply provide the LaTeX source as an option since the PDF's are not
particularly accessible, or I could do something else if people have
suggestions on something that might be better. Does anyone have any ideas as
to how I could make a more accessible end-product from my LaTeX sources?
This information would also be useful to me for situations where I want to
share something like an academic paper I wrote with my blind friends, as I
use LaTeX for those as well.

I have documents on the Blowfish and RC5 algorithms available now, and one
on the CAST5 algorithm which is partially completed if people would like to
see what I have in mind. In the short term, I plan to do DES and AES. I
would also love to do serpent if I can find an accessible algorithm
specification.
Joe
