Your income in 600 * ``a tenner a month'' - 72k.

Contrast what PIPEX's income must be ;)

Now: who's ``bigger''?

PS: Also, consider the size of the "accounts" department (and effect on

   Unlikely. Although it has never been proven, the RSA Public Key system 
   is though to be secure using a 1024 bit modulus for the calculation.

And where can any of us buy encryption devices which use RSA (let
alone ones for real-time encoding/decoding of telephone
conversations)?

Remember too that exhaustive calculation like a complete search of
the key space is an unproductive way of breaking codes. RSA can be
broken by factoring huge numbers, if you want to wait until the end of
the universe. Other techniques such as analysis of the ciphertext (say
looking for repeating patterns) will yield insights into how the key
is constructed. This may identify the key or reduce the key space to
the point where it can be exhaustively searched in a reasonable time.
It is this sort of cryptanalytical technique that gets used at
Cheltenham or Fort Meade. Brute force attacks on the key space would
take too long.

Note too that a strong ciphersystem is in itself not secure. Care has
to be taken with key management. How often have UNIX systems been
broken into because users choose obvious passwords (keys) or make them
public? This goes for DES, RSA and even Captain Marvel's Magic Decoder
Ring.

   This view is reinforced when one considers that the NSA place
   restrictions on its use and distribution within the US.

This is a popular misconception. Firstly, it's the US government which
restricts the export of encryption technology, not the NSA (though
they do advise the US government). Secondly, RSA Inc has patented the
RSA algorithm in the USA. These patents don't apply in most of the
rest of the world because of differences in patent law. RSA Inc won't
export their product until they are able to protect it with overseas
patents. [In the US, it seems that an algorithm can be patented,
whereas the rest of the world only permits implementations of an
algorithm to be patented and notthe algorithm itself.]

   If you want more detail I can post a FAQ on the subject of public
   key cryptography.

No thanks. I have read enough books on this subject already.

While looking through some old papers my mother-in-law was
about to throw away, I came across a magazine dated April 1942,
entitled "OUTLOOK - The Voice of the Brotherhood Movement Inc".
Her father was said in his obituary to have been a member of
Colchester Brotherhood.

Can anyone tell me anything about this organisation? It
seems to have been a Christian Social Reform group, in the
Socialist tradition of the Free Churches.

In the US the FBI are trying to make it illegal to encrypt in any effective
way, and for example, phone companies will be fined something like US$1000 per
line per day that the FBI can't decrypt.

Ok, you just defined intelligence as something completely different to
the statement you are disagreeing with. What you must mean is that you
disagree with my definition of intelligence. Fine, so do I. But my posting
says "what many people refer to ..." and is intended to make a point.

What I refer to are the 'voices' chattering away in your head that go to
make up your psyche. ( For anyone who isn't aware of the 'voices', try the 
exercise of thinking of absolutely nothing for 5 minutes - anyone who 
manages it is welcome to mail me!.) These 'voices' have been discussed at 
length by Jung and others and go way out of the scope of this thread but 
form a large part of your personality - wrinkles, neuroses and all.

Clearly! If you don't like the idea of someone else trying to help you,

beneficial for dealing with stress etc

I don't know how we got onto this, but while were here... People are

You're all wrong.  "Coppergate" refers to a little-known political

it's the latest cover-up by the West Midlands police force.

Nor metric measures such as the Joule, Watt and kg.  When I was still
doing a bit of molecular biology it was infuriating that the US text
books were all in arcane units that needed conversion (and assumed room
temperature was 25C; try paying reasonable prices for your energy,

adrenalin instead of neurone and adrenaline.  ...  Except they
blasted-well spell metre as meter.  It's like pronouncing `Wagner'

original!

Of course it works the other way too. I once bought an Allegro. Perhaps it

excellent cars!

It didn't have the square steering wheel, though.
