How do you know if your encryption method is safe (unbroken?) Say you develope a method and you send messages. How do you know whether or not someone has broken it? Do you post messages and challenge people to break the code? Do you send a message out of the country with a provocative content and then wait for the FBI to pay you a visit? If you don't know that your code is secure, then you really don't have a secure method, you just have to hope what you send isn't going to be monitored by anyone who wants to and can crack it. James Zuchelli ps I'm a novice at all this. ------------------------------ The above is my personal opinion and does not represent the opinion of Claris Corp. or my employers.
