Dead Dudes,

I am curious as to whether all these encryption programs on the net e.g. this one are actually any good.

Whilst im not that bothered about whether the government can crack them or even if its possible to crack them im curious as to how they work and whether they are infact 'any good at what they do'. It seems highly dubious claims that 'its unbreakable'.

So do these companies give the government the 'overriding code' to break it realtively easily etc or are these things actually totally break in proof unless you assign several hours of computing time to breaking it?

p.s. this is not so i can encrypt kiddy pron and be immune from anyone ever finding it.
