The problem that someone might plant a message and a one-time-pad on your machine makes for a good spy story; I would be more worried about someone claiming that I had illegal software on my machine, since they can always come up with a one-time-pad that will decode some file that I do have on my machine (if they have access to it) and have the ``decoded'' text be a copyrighted program for which I do not have a license.
All the more reason to use a good disk encryption program to keep private as muc of you disk as possible (under CryptDisk/PGPDisk its everything but the System Folder). --Steve PGP mail preferred Fingerprint: FE 90 1A 95 9D EA 8D 61 81 2E CC A9 A4 4A FB A9 Key available on BAL server, http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Schear | tel: (702) 658-2654 CEO | fax: (702) 658-2673 First ECache Corporation | 7075 West Gowan Road | Suite 2148 | Las Vegas, NV 89129 | Internet: azur@netcom.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- I know not what instruments others may use, but as for me, give me Ecache or give me debt.
