holy balls, this is amazing lol...NSA got nothing on dem scientists

or maybe government will force these people to give up their research and let "big brother" develop an even superior device that would be able to crack the "unbreakable" encryption

Wow thats crazy esp cus its made with " rare Earth" material

If you used 256-bit encryption on a single file, and there were no NSA backdoors or anything, it would take all of the world's computational power, never mind the NSA, several million years to crack that one file. even if quantum computers got to be 100x faster than conventional computers are now, we're still talking tens of thousands of years, and that's if you could force all the entries down the 6GB/s bus of a standard SATA SSD... which of course, you can't. And you can up the ante on hardware encryption pretty easily these days. Make it 384 or 512 bit. no one will ever crack it. And then you could put an entry limit on the drive so that if the NSA tries to decrypt it too much, it will just run some lovely overwrite passes while the NSA continues to try to decrypt it.

So, all we need is an open standard for hardware encryption that the NSA can't threaten someone over. They'll kick and scream, but they won't be able to do anything, not unless privacy laws become nonexistent.

The NSA thinks it's God, but they can't ignore physics.

Probably If you send a pigeon it's safer

Crazy technology.

i don't think this is technically encryption, you are just bypassing any possible interceptors
