	Of course, the real way to do solid encription is the following.
First, make up some gizmo to generate a random binary string, (White noise,
maby.  Hmm, I wonder how random blowing into the mike is?)  You CAN"T use
the random number function, it must be TREULY random.  THen, make a single
copy and give it to your friend through a secure channel.  You then use the
Voyench (sp) algorythem for one time encription.  Very useful, completely
uncrackable.  See Scientific American Oct 92 for a sidebar on the subject.
Possibly make a service to take a key and file and encrypt, and another to
decrypt.  Voila, now you can REALLY give the NSA fits.

It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, .signifying nothing.
                   Tis better to dream with eyes wide open.
