    it should be simple to learn and memorize; it should be easy to write and to read; and most important of all, "it should be absolutely inscrutable to all unacquainted with the particular key or secret for decyphering.

    As the NSA is well aware, no code yet implemented is "unbreakable." It is the biggest employer of mathematicians in the world and many work continuously on shortcuts to beat the expected number of operations necessary to break a given code. If quantum cryptography gets going based on quantum entaglement, the ball game might change, but this was a pure and literally a historic miscalculation. Interesting stuff though...

    Interesting cryptography story, though IMO nothing (manmade) can be "absolutely inscrutable" =|
