No, you can't. It's impossible to prove an algorithim unbreakable.
No? Please prove your assertion.
You can't prove a negative. The best IPG could say is that it can't be broken with current technology. Next week someone might come up with a new way to break ciphers that renders the IPG algorithim breakable.
Someone needs to write an IPG and Don Wood FAQ. No, I'm not volunteering.
As a crypto amateur, I would appreciate a good technical explanation as to why IPG's algorithm cannot be considered secure. Thank you. - Igor.
