Well, the "how" is easy: use a one-time pad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad) or a good-quality encryption algorithm such as Blowfish (see, we're still on topic!) - perl -MCrypt::CBC -we' my $password = "The world of Dreams, Illusions, Bubbles, Shadows (夢幻泡影) "; my $hash = Crypt::CBC -> new(-key => $password, -cipher => "Blowfish"); { local $/; print $hash->encrypt(<>) }' file_to_encrypt Pick a password (up to 56 characters long), specify the file that you want to encrypt, and short of getting the password out of you, even the CIA's biggest purpose-built computers are out of luck. As to "why", the answer to that has been encrypted, and no one knows who has the key. I guess you'll have to figure it out for yourself. :) Ben -- OKOPNIK CONSULTING Custom Computing Solutions For Your Business Expert-led Training | Dynamic, vital websites | Custom programming 443-250-7895 http://okopnik.com http://twitter.com/okopnik _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
