And btw binkd doesn't use a very        WvV>> good encryption algorithm. So if they wanted/needed to break it,        WvV>> they probably could.               AA> I thought binkd's encryption only extended to the        AA> authentication part. If the whole transfer, ie. the PKTs are        AA> encrypted, that's interesting.              It can be, but not every node supports it...               AA> I recall a movement that suggested that people simply FLOOD the        AA> channels with messages that bore "suspect" text in the Subject        AA> lines: super secret, terrorism, murder.. etc. The idea being        AA> that then they will have too much data to analyse.              I don't think that would work now. Data analyses and cpu power has come a long       way...                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.2.0.0        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 123/131       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 214/22 218/0 1 215 700       SEEN-BY: 218/720 840 850 860 880 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 112       SEEN-BY: 229/113 206 307 317 400 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120 5832       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1       PATH: 280/464 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
