If you can generate a truly random key - and get a copy to your partner, it is not decodable. It would have to be long enough to not repeat for a good while - easy if you’re just using text. Your text is simply exclusive Or’d with the key. The reverse is done on the other side. The only plaintext is the location where the key is to start for each message.

You could generate a random key via sampling the output of a “noise circuit”. Nope, not digital noise (pseudo random sequences) - those can be undone quite easily.

Others have had this thought. We’re going to need it in the upcoming fight with the Obamaloons.

Yes it is, all it takes is computer time. Generally its a matter of cost. Is it cheaper to get the info another way or tie up the computer for however long. With todays faster computers the bar is a LOT lower.

Even the industry standard encryption algorithm 3DES is hackable.

Most of all the OS of any PC on either end is probably compromised by the NSA.

Not sure I understand all you said, but it sounds like a cipher with a keyword. Those can be broken if the wrong people get the keyword. But then, I may not get your entire concept. I will forward this to a friend.

And yes, you get my drift, as I'm sure the Fed agencies do also after reading this. However, we still have the 1st Amendment right to speak in privacy. Thank you for your input.
