> Wouldn't 4 kb take a gazillion years to decrypt?
Unfortunately no. Paralell processors would still take a very very long
time, still enough to be impractical. However, to my knowledge your
government in conjunction with IBM has allready made a quantum computer with
4 atoms, and the swiss have one with 11, at the last count. They work via
utilising quantum theory to perform calculations. The upshot of this is that
any calculation, no matter how large, is carried out instantanesously......
As long as there are enough atoms to do it. You should be scared that the
government that has financed and approved Carnivore has financed technology
capable of cracking any encryption, no matter how large.......
Food for thought
