The keys to understanding MDL® keyset technologyAbstract
Structure-based keys used in MDL® technology are defined by the contents of two ASCII files, enkfil.dat and eksfil.dat. The enkfil.dat file defines the structural features that set the keybits. The eksfil.dat file defines a subset of the enkfil.dat-defined keybits, which is used as a "subset keyset". In default installations, the enkfil.dat file defines the MDL 960-bit keyset, and the eksfil.dat file defines the MDL 166-bit keyset. Because the identity of the keyset and subset-keyset are defined by these files, users can easily define their own keyset and/or subset keyset. Such custom keysets can be expected to outperform the default keyset for focused or specialized tasks.
