Marshall I guess that's why banks use it. I would imagine that has to do with the federal government having its own standards for what encryption schemes should be used. quote: Mark J. Marshall PGP allows you to revoke keys if you install it and use it properly. Go back to "talked to Intel" and "industry often looks down on open source." Really, a lot of people think that "security through obscurity" is a winner and that if you have the source out in the open then the bad guys will have a better chance of breaking in, of course ignoring that this has been demonstrated to be a false notion.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

Security through obscurity never seems to be an idea that works, but I guess some people just keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Bruce Schneier, author of Applied Cryptography said it best (I'm paraphrasing because I don't have the book in front of me): "If I had a safe which had two keys - one to lock it and one to unlock it, and I locked my secret document in the safe and buried the safe somewhere in Manhattan, that is not security. If I took that same safe with my secret document in it, and gave it to you, along with an identical safe that you can study yourself, and a schematic on how the safe was constructed, and even gave you the key that I used to lock it, and you STILL can't get the safe open to get my document... THAT is security." I know there are at least a couple people here that disagree with that, but I find myself laughing at closed source encryption algorithms being broken a lot more then they laugh at open source ones being broken.  |  IP: Logged
