Preface
This page collects together all documents related to Serpent validation. The different categories are listed below. Each entry should include one or several references to publicly accessible documents where the results are reported. Serpent input and output files can be also be provided. When the input consists of multiple files, link to zip or gzip archives.

NOTE: Use of multiple reference numbers (2.00, 2.01, ...) looks stupid. Is there a way to replace them with a single '2'?
