211. Do you know anything at all about encryption?
There's no such thing as "backdoor keys" for encryption algorithms that are wide-open known in every particular. It's just not possible. Encryption isn't a computer program, it's a method, and it's entirely possible to muddy things further by layering it or any number of other options which make it as close to mathematically impossible to break. It is not a monolith with some one-size-fits-all crack either, because if it was it wouldn't be encryption in the first place.

Seriously, you're just making yourself look silly with statements like that. Stop guessing and speculating and actually study the subject for even a half hour so you can do something other than embarrass yourself.
