Even if a Cray can crack a PGP-encrypted message in, say, an hour, flooding the system with messages would tend to obscure real traffic with obscure junk. Hey, I can encrypt /vmunix with a random key as fast as the next person. :)

I still have my copy of (what I call) pgp-ran. I forgot what it was called when it was posted and I can't find the sources now. It puts rannos in PGP format. Does a copy of the sources exist on one of the servers? It's too fast to be doing any encryption but it would be good to have one which produces messages PGP recognizes as real, only for a public key which isn't on file. If PGP rejects a message, it wouldn't take up any Cray cracking time. - Carl Sample: -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.1 tJaHof1c+6P+Llz8D7E4Nt7sETVMtqqazEhcjX4hRIgdtTZwPeocLjIP3dbkIF+7 JfXt2QOIYulFC+1RcdtoA233TTbbYZXi5uPv+d3WMcbObQf3tMfuCXlWqBxCaIkT 3zD1R6MdXnry4KplWJTZg5vK6gMUpxogkrV1lhS8J9uBHYmeh63BzmLtGXBvIpPt Uli6G12PylQ693YexPfk1qR7BSrK863QfZKmOB1BmG7j9TBuigSXKjSL19Vx4MCX mM90Nz1z5wW2DXkl328BZPNOMiAEvCcVOZJcM/PFvm7z9fY1VV2ukD9wm91V/RqN ZNm1/glIyDLCSgq3VqnQfzpzeqrWTCksQLhPrGYdJjgcDKTY07oTuRHM7yjO0H7E ScU9jsbsP7ISFcr6XTNFlUSgG1v78q/PGTMp/nWOieho6MiRfvXEEplKeUFa+FpE Y2uYdEmAiHodTKuz5F39ucIMwNnuSQzrGhDklpkHxMkEWT3PYvNHLVT8i6q1LdgR +j1jMZr9lPC7i5L7oYC0tVwPQaEb4ks2HiaU7FRhUTc3Nny1/0psJZ8Z0A0slhis D8A+BSfWl8Nyj/ojzRP8rLWfMKLxrtduqetrwMBVIOIsNwPABe9sqTL2dWnJEE3u kZSxbo5pwl3g03hT0O9HZzlwau0eliBK7T =7W70 -----END PGP MESSAGE-----
