Yup :-) At least from a cryptographic standpoint. In contemporary times, "security" has less to do with keeping a secret so much as determining a balance between how many resources need to be invested into brute-forcing a given obscuring method(s), and the significance of the payload (what the secret message is). Of course, if you really want to keep something secret, well... he that hath a secret had better keep secret that he hath a secret to keep. ;-) －ＫＣ２ＴＴＫ ______________________________________________________________ Spooks mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Spooks@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
