Generate a truly random file, encrypt it, and send it. Make your “random” files much more frequent than your data files.

Won’t stop them, but will slow them down as they try to “crack” randomness.

LOL -- That's a amusing idea.

“This bill is an abomination!” said Rep. Gwen Moore, D-WI.

Trying to interpret her statement is harder than ‘cracking’ randomness.

Do it again and again. Have everyone you know do it again and again.

Suddenly we have a stimulus program that puts people back to work in high tech, high paying jobs. Whether Utah is big enough state to warehouse all the metadata may be problematic. There is some hope and change I can believe in.

They can keep it, but they might have to hang on to it for a while...it doesn’t take much to encrypt something that would take all of the computing power on Earth the remainder of time and all the ergs of energy in the universe to decrypt - unless they get something real out of quantum computing.

Nothing is truly uncrackable, but given the fact that data is sent in packets over the Internet, there is a way to make it extremely difficult to do.

Basically, you need to have a "scratch pad" - for one time only use.

Here is how it works:

1. Both the sender and receiver initally have to have each other's encryption keys.

2. When sending a file, the sender's encryption program includes a new randomly-generated 128-bit encryption key with each packet [along with the data]. 256-bit encryption keys are even better.

3. The new encryption key tells the receiver's encryption program what the new key is for the NEXT packet.

4. This process continues until the entire file is sent.

While not truly uncrackable, the NSA would have to decrypt on a pack-by-packet basis. MAJOR HEADACHE !!!

I typically use GPG the encrypt things like web pages, poems random blocks of text. My friends and I periodically sent these to each other just to give the government scum something to do, and BTW GPG if you use the larger key sizes is unbreakable even by the NSA. That is why the government HATES GPG and its commercial twin PGP. They want full access to everything you do, but don't want you to have access to anything they do. Seems to me that defines a slave/master relationship rather than a citizen and "government of the people" relationship. I also routinely encrypt anything of a non-trivial financial nature that I send via email. I'll send clear "I paid $13 for a new shirt at Penny's" But I'll encrypt something like "I sold 1500 shares of XYZ at $120."

I strongly recommend everyone download GPG now before the government forces them to install a backdoor. thank God for the Bill of Rights even if the government regards it as a minor historical triviality and doesn't let it get in the way of their ongoing goal to rule every aspect of our lives.

Heck - generate lots of them of various sizes. Encrypt them with one algorithm, re-encrypt them with another, using 20 character randomized strong passwords for each ... do it about 5 times to keep them really busy.

“Won’t stop them, but will slow them down as they try to “crack” randomness.”

As someone with cryptology experience, I say they can decrypt anything, but you are right, computer cycles are not free and they would need lots more of them to try to make sense of random garbage. Trying to parse it would be expensive.
