Quoting the Foxbusiness article:
"PermanentPrivacy announces the world's first practical data
encryption system that is absolutely unbreakable. And is offering a
$1,000,000 challenge to anyone who can crack it.
Permanent Privacy (patent pending) has been verified by Peter
Schweitzer, one of Harvard's top cryptanalysts, and for the inevitable
cynics Permanent Privacy is offering $1,000,000 to anyone who can
decipher a sample of ciphertext."
My favorite part of that web site is from their "How it Works" section:
---
``For example, suppose that the plain text message is simply one 5-
letter word. At first glance, you would think that this must be easy
to break. But there are, let us say, about 100 printable characters on
a computer keyboard, so there are some 100x100x100x100x100 ways of
producing a 5-letter word.''

So, let me get this straight. You appear to be using a one-time pad,
but you discard all output that the robotic hand you send me is unable
to type on my keyboard?
