The above only makes sense in the case of the U.S. government intercepting the communications of overseas criminals and in gathering foreign intelligence. If encryption is indeed "munitions," then we are effectively scaling back our contribution to the "arms race" without getting a corresponding scaling back from "the enemy," who is proceeding forward in the crypto arms race at a full pace.

If you subscribe to cypherpunks-unedited(a)toad.com you will get almost immediate receipt of toad.com posts much of the day. Algebra.com is generally only a short time lag behind, although this varies (and you get duplicates of the toad.com posts). The advantage of toad.com is that it gives you feedback as to the time-lag of the distributed lists. The advantages of the distributed lists is that you can change among them if one is temporarily having problems.

TWAK! Barring a _severe_ breakthrough in the entire nature of computing, you still need at least 1 atom to store one bit of information. It would take more computing power than all the atoms in the world, with the ability to store 1 bit on a atom and other dazzling feats of miniaturization, to crack a 2048 bit key barring algorithmic breakthrough. I'm sorry, but barring the severe breakthrough mentioned, Moore's Law will break when we are storing single atoms as bits. Or perhaps single electrons (spin, but how the hell do you hold them in place for reading??), but the point still stands. Quantum computing might fill the void, but then, quantum computing might make all Crypto thus far irrelevant anyways.

Just a brief note to let you know about two new educational sites that are interactive and intended for non-technical audiences. I thought you might be interested in these new programs. Human Anatomy On-line covers the subject of the anatomy and Automotive Learning On-line covers the subject of automobiles. They include hundreds of graphics, educational information and animations. These two programs are free to the Internet community. This is a great resource that delivers educational material for schoolchildren to adults. I hope that you will find them to be of high quality and educational. Thank you for your time. Human Anatomy On-line is located at http://www.innerbody.com Automotive Learning On-line is located at http://www.innerauto.com Kevin Keil Webmaster Informative Graphics Corp Webmaster(a)innerbody.com NOTE: This address was located on a web page and used to notify you of this information.
