The NSA would need to know the book and the cipher. Screw using mathematical encryption. For all we know it is now compromised.
As an added bonus, use text from spam email examples. Thus, the emails you send end up in the spam mail folder of the recipient. I imagine that the NSA will have optimised their hoover algorithm to exclude email that is spam. I mean, do they really need to log all of those 'enlarge your penis in 6 weeks' emails?
- Tloewald 13y agoGiven the horsepower the NSA is throwing at this stuff, testing for book ciphers doesn't seem like an intractable problem. I'd suggest we simply start attaching modestly large files of random numbers encrypted (or not) using ridiculously secure keys to our emails. Incidentally, if the ratio of content to encryption key length is high, the likelihood of false positive decryptions will be high.
