A mono... a mona....a poly... never mind
I have heard that you can purchase commercially 4 kilobit encryption &
thought to myself that that sounded like overkill. On the other hand Bill
Gates himself said that "Nobody will ever need more than 640k of ram."
Wouldn't 4 kb take a gazillion years to decrypt?

*Specifically, a monalphabetic substitution cipher. It's known to the
*Internet community as "rot-13" (since every letter is incremented by 13 mod
*26). There are also polyalphabetic substitution ciphers, eg
*Vigenere and the
*one created by the German "Enigma" machines.
