I saw this article in alt.privacy. Anybody think the described encryption actually is worth looking at.

In addition it does not rely merely on simple factoring but a process called graphical encryption that adds additional difficulty to an attack. I would like to see if your cracking abilities are anywhere near your abilities to return an uninformed answer. I invite you to try your skill.

ANYONE FOR A CRYPTO-STRONG, YET EASY TO USE FAX/EMAIL SECURITY SOFTWARE PACKAGE FOR BUSINESS OR OTHER USE???

...

Aliroo Ltd. has developed a Windows, eye-to-eye fax/email encryption package called PrivaSoft.

...

Unlike any previously devised system, this method protects, with only 4 mouse clicks, fax and email transmissions in electronic and even paper form - FROM THE TIME YOU CREATE A MESSAGE UNTIL IT IS READ - NOT JUST WHEN YOUR FAX IS BEING TRANSMITTED.

...

You can encrypt a message, and then fax or email it (via plain old standard fax machine or fax modem), print it to paper or save to a disk file.

...

It is fully licensed, without restriction for export, by the U.S. Department of Commerce. NO PGP WORRIES.

Also no worries about security - if DOC says you can have it, you can bet that NSA has seen to it that it is cryptographically weak, or else uses a key escrow system (where sombody else can get to the keys), and as insecure as any other non-published method. For all we know, they may be using a cereal box decoder ring set up.

...

Email me for a free copy which will be sent to you via email or snail mail post. It is fully functional (not crippleware) and enables you to try our system out before purchase with 8 free page scrambles. It retails for $130 per installed computer. Looking for end users and distributors.

...

Thanks, David
