We've been discussing this yesterday, since some German politicians (who apparently don't have _any_ clues and simply think it's sufficient to launch some law in order to have people no longer encrypting something, ah well, perhaps they believe we don't know yet what encryption is, and we're just waiting for them to give us The Blessed Encryption :-) are also trying to follow France. We should simply regularly post snippets taken from /dev/urandom then, and put the question on top: ``Is this encrypted text? Who can decipher it?'' :-)) Something like: 8da75c7ff3fb0adf4a4cc627c5473a3680780b9276ed4c3dc8cb802569c0828c e2c8d5e8a8c43586f2fc3df896d2af5085e34b02df063232100cf766ad7e4311 69525c94184854464125efbb28b17f9627def4e813799529767080e3a328a268 873a0695a198bdb890af7a276671e8915e959fc19b3e9270cfd5b7f5bd48f5b8 7946e94eb6de6f -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
