With the NSA snooping around anywhere and everywhere, violating the constitution in the process, the following development was inevitable: Harvard & MIT Students Have Created an Email So Secure Even the NSA Can't Crack It.

Make sure you don't wear that tinfoil hat too tight.

I appreciate that you're frequently looking for the humorous response, pity this one was so feeble. To imply that mass spying on innocent civilians by the NSA and others is a Conspiracy Theory would suggest you haven't seen even five minutes of a news broadcast in the last six months. Nor was it I who developed this program, as posted; Harvard & MIT Students created it.

I can understand your need to share a recent selfie though.

Eh, I'm not doing anything illegal so I don't give a fuck if the NSA wants to read the crappy chain emails my mom sends me.

Hey, I'm rocking that hat!

I was actually thinking of making a post about this late last week, when I saw an article about it. I have reserved a few email addresses already. Sounds like good intentions behind the scenes here! I would rather be safe than sorry, as far as internet security.

While it may be difficult to crack, it can be cracked, and if anybody can crack it, it is the NSA. The major vulnerability of any encryption is that it contains meaningful information. If they got everybody to agree to send nothing but random strings of characters, than maybe it would be uncrackable, otherwise it probably is.

I haven't heard anything about this, so don't know any details, but the above is true for any system. However, it may still be difficult enough to take some time, possibly such a huge amount of time that it will be safe, but given enough time it is crackable, and unfortunately most systems contain a flaw that allows them to be broken into even sooner (which is how most systems are broken - the underlying theory is very safe, but some programmer makes a huge mistake in implementing it).

I cracked into the OP's email last night, so maybe its not as secure as she'd like to think.I hope she understands it was purely in the name of research.

You could sign-up for Yandex mail ( https://mail.yandex.com/ ). It's a Russian internet company, so I doubt they're in league with the devil. But then, I suppose you'll then have the Russians spying on your e-mail instead.
