Hmm. I would say no at this point. I was only trying to draw attention to the fact encryption rarely survives on a long-term basis. If encryption is "unbreakable" for the period you require, then for your purposes it is completely valid. I'm just not sure I believe in the long term benefits of any particular "scheme." -- Scott Elcomb http://www.psema4.com/
