You think that modern encryption is something that can be easily defeated? EOTE Sep 2012 #24

Are you operating under the illusion that the NSA announces such things publicly? jeff47 Sep 2012 #127
Of course they wouldn't announce it, but they're still limited to the rules of math. EOTE Sep 2012 #131
So you still ignore the parellelism jeff47 Sep 2012 #146
You REALLY need to think a bit harder about this. EOTE Sep 2012 #148

Intelligent algorithims Aerows Sep 2012 #73
It doesn't matter how intelligent an algorithm is if it requires billions or trillions of computer EOTE Sep 2012 #77
Okay Aerows Sep 2012 #89
Are we even on the same thread? EOTE Sep 2012 #91
The point is Aerows Sep 2012 #94
Once again, AES256 has never been cracked. EOTE Sep 2012 #98
I see after that response, you didn't have anything to say Aerows Sep 2012 #97
What on earth are you going on about? EOTE Sep 2012 #99
I have 22+ years in the industry Aerows Sep 2012 #101
But I'm afraid you've got some serious comprehension problems. EOTE Sep 2012 #103
I illustrated for you Aerows Sep 2012 #105
Sure, it's not impenetrable if you've got a few thousand years at your disposal. EOTE Sep 2012 #107
If you believe that there is nothing of substance here Aerows Sep 2012 #108
So once again, you offer nothing. EOTE Sep 2012 #110
I offer nothing Aerows Sep 2012 #112
Now you're offering kindness? EOTE Sep 2012 #114
You bet, sweetheart :) Aerows Sep 2012 #116
You're damned right. I tend to deal with facts. EOTE Sep 2012 #118

And by the way, who's being the braggart now? EOTE Sep 2012 #104
I illustrated my competence Aerows Sep 2012 #106
No, you've just repeated buzzwords over and over again. EOTE Sep 2012 #109
Buzzwords? Aerows Sep 2012 #111
They're buzzwords in that you're repeating them incessantly. EOTE Sep 2012 #113
I honestly believe Aerows Sep 2012 #115
Christ, this is very simple. LISTEN CLOSELY. EOTE Sep 2012 #117
It's already in the mainstream Aerows Sep 2012 #119
What a freaking joke. Now you've proven how little you know of this. EOTE Sep 2012 #120

Let me explain this as simply as possible. EOTE Sep 2012 #132
You should probably read this too snooper2 Sep 2012 #136
You should really read this- snooper2 Sep 2012 #134
Yes, I have no idea what you're talking about because you're talking out of your ass. EOTE Sep 2012 #145
FYI, number of years doesn't really mean as much as people think- snooper2 Sep 2012 #133
But surely 22 years of experience gives one the power to change the known laws of the universe. EOTE Sep 2012 #137
I could crack it in a couple hours snooper2 Sep 2012 #138

Well, so far there haven't been any serious threats against AES 256. EOTE Sep 2012 #40
It depends on what you regard Aerows Sep 2012 #74
You portend to have such knowledge? EOTE Sep 2012 #80
And if you thought to threaten me because I understand AES256 Aerows Sep 2012 #84
What on earth are you talking about? EOTE Sep 2012 #88
Not that anyone Aerows Sep 2012 #76
Now you're just throwing random cryptography words together sir pball Sep 2012 #141
