Beating your kneecaps into pulp, hiring a hooker to persuade the secret out of you, beating your recipient's kneecaps into pulp, hiring a hooker to persuade the secret out of your correspondent, Van Eycking your terminal, Van Eycking your recipient's terminal, figuring out a way to plant an exploit on your USB stick... I could go on for quite some time, but you get the idea. The best ways to recover the message do not involve cryptanalysis, and the non-cryptanalytic means are devastatingly effective. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
