List: Looks like superlatives in security are not a sparse commodity, from "super" to "supra" to "most" secure is all an easy question of how many bits one has, or so it still seems in this YAMSAES: ----------------------- http://messages.yahoo.com/bbs?action=m&board=4688083&tid=mail&sid=4688083&mid=13969 2/6/00 8:28 pm Supra Secure Mail (SSM), the highest encryption technology available. SSM technology provides the most secure and encrypted Email service transaction technology in the world. This breakthrough developed exclusively by SupraNet AG will quickly become the most accepted encryption standard for business to business (B2B) communication and safe financial transactions. The protocol for security gives the user the ability to have 448 bit key which exceeds any available encryption in the world. It is the first key with over 400 bit encryption technology which is a worldwide milestone in the development of security and privacy software compared to the current standard of 128 to 256 bit keys. www.supra.net ------------------------ To set the record once and for all, we should create the (n+1)-key -- recursively defined as a key which has always one bit more than the highest bit of any key in existence, even of itself. Without any regard, of course, to the protocol it uses. Cheers, Ed Gerck
