There's also a description in my godzilla crypto tutorial, 
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/tutorial/ (along with everything else 
crypto-related you can think of).
 
Perhaps this SGC thing should go into <handwave>some FAQ somewhere</handwave>, 
it seems to crop up about once a fortnight in various places 
(sci.crypt/mailing lists/whatever).
