zzener_diode replyfeddit.orgWell, if its unbreakable, then its either snake oil, or some variation on the one-time-pad (really depends on your definition of unbreakable). But having read the article, this is definetly snake oil.14
SScipitie lemmy.dbzer0.comThis sounds like an ad. Note that "patented" doesn't mean shit. Plus it's not as unique as they make out to be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography I personally wouldn't use an encryption where someone else could change the conditions on how I use it anyway.15
dan upvote.au The brothers have different surnames due to an error made by their parents when registering Lin’s birth certificate I wonder how long it took them to discover the error... And how long it took them to decide to just live with it instead of fixing it. Interesting.7

CCameronDev replyprogramming.devXOR with a one time pad is unbreakable, but xor with a short/repeating key is very much breakable.3

Unbreakable Encryption .. so .. Snake Oil then?
