If you suspect that some of the non DOD/NSA cyphers might be broken, but you are not ready to employ one-time-pads, then you should threshold you mesages into N parts so that all N are needed to recover the original. Then encrypt each part under a different cypher.
Its far simpler to encrypt your message with multiple systems, one after another, than to break it up in the manner you suggest, and the security is in fact better that way than in the manner you suggest.
It's not a good idea to encrypt binaries unless you know what they are. It's not a good idea to apply one encryption system over another unless you're sure of what you're doing, and know the effect of the two interacting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rishab Aiyer Ghosh rishab@dxm.ernet.in Voicemail +91 11 3760335; Vox/Fax/Data 6853410 H-34C Saket New Delhi 110017 INDIA The National Fairness to Game Animals Association says: Support your right to arm bears! --------------------------------------------------------------------------
