If you wait >until >you actually have something private to send, then an >adversary will >know >exactly which message is important. Don't encrypt,post it by snail mail.I remember reading this in pgp's help document. It addresses why we glue over our envelope and seal it.It ofcourse is concealing(for the govt) and privacy (for the user).The govt. never asks letters not to be glued and sealed because of the vast majority of people using it. But at the slightest at the use of encryption will raise their brows. This issue can only be fully solved when the vast majority of people begin using encryption. Encrypted spam wouldn't be a bad idea either. Regards Sarath.
