How do you know they failed? If they succeeded, they wouldn't tell you about it. One of the basic tenets of applied cryptology is that cracking a code is only useful until your target becomes aware that his code has been cracked. At that point, he will either switch codes, or start feeding you misinformation with the code that's been compromised. Frankly my friend, you're losing credibility with each post you make. Not only do your technical explanations make no sense, you don't seem to have much of a grasp on how encryption is used in the real world. sherm-- _______________________________________________ cocoa-dev mailing list | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/cocoa-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.
