To put this in simple terms.  A smart person with a modest computer, 
familiar with the long history of code creation and code breaking, can 
create a code that a much smarter person with a vastly more powerful 
computer cannot break.

The codes we are using were created by smart people.  We know these 
people.  They are unlikely to be part of a vast conspiracy to put something 
over us.
