Just a slight question. What's the difference between an rare language and
english encrypted with some sort of algorithm? How can the suits declare
one piece of text as encrypted, while the ancient language of waazoo is
just a really fucked-up language?
Could someone write an encryption algorithm that made the text into some
sort of non-english looking language, without making it obvious that the
information had been encrypted? How secure could such a algorithm be?
