hushmail

No, the courts have already indicated that email (unencrypted) does not hold the same expectation of privacy as snail mail has established. It's too easy to intercept email. Especially because your service provider can read it. With regular mail, sure someone at the post office can read it, but they have to "destroy" the envelope to do so. Apparently the courts think that makes a big difference. Also, there is a lot of tradition behind snailmail.

Whether the government is able to read your encrypted mail or not is not the point. The point is that they need a search warrant to do so legally. Of course, they can do so without a warrant and try to make their investigation make sense without the benefit of the email information, but I don't think they would do that to bust someone for dealing in 1k of juice.
 
a brute force crack is the equivalent of trying every single possibility until you hit the answer along the way.

ibm is just finishing a new machine that is far more powerful than deep blue and it is to be used on the protein folding project.

the government has had massively parallel systems for years now.

I think some of you are a little off on your math here and how easily this stuff is cracked.

the main problem is that people see things they deem impossible done very quickly on computers and then they assume anything is possible very quickly - also they have no real grasp on how large these numbers are.

trust me, 1) nobody gives a shit about your mail, and 2) if they did, they couldn't break it if you are using it correctly.
or at least not in the lifetime of our universe.
if you are a terrorist and pose a national threat, then you are much more likely to be monitored than if you are some shmoe buying $500 worth of gear.

cryptography (the study of making and breaking encryption) is my main hobby.
you want to talk smack with me, go for it - I'm here.
