Sometimes I think if I could actually understand your posts I might learn something profound.

I somehow doubt it.......

On a par with Shakespeare, typewriters, infinite, monkeys.....

Anyway, back to reality - do you think this is new? Echelon etc, GCHQ, NSA, CSE, DSD et al have been doing this since the 60s/70s - pattern analysis and recognition, key-word analysis, et al has been happening a looooong time*


*cough, cough, I believe...*

Perhaps that's what they're actually working on Chris. I'm sure he's had the boffins at Bletchley Park (together with most of CF) stumped for quite some time.

Well, random word based cryptography is the hardest to crack....

If we're going down the tin foil hat angle a good start would be that GCHQ, not MI5, are signals intelligence.

I'm thinking the other posters have a point. Mertle are your posts some kind of one time pad? It's the only unbreakable code after all.

EDIT: I wonder what mertle would think if he knew about Echelon.

Not just Q - the Joint Services Signals Organisation at Diggers are fairly active in this area as well...
