Surely you do that by any one of the zillion known methods? (PGP,
S/MIME, SSL, blah, blah).

Getting an encrypted message from A to B has never been a feat. The
trick is getting the software that lets you do it from A to B.

So, it ain't snake-oil, its just completely pointless in that it solves
a problem that doesn't exist! Which, I suppose, means it is snake-oil.
