Military security? If so, maybe it's better that there are well-known loopholes so that nobody places too much faith in their system and makes use of techniques like public-key encryption when it really matters. No matter how secure your network and OS is, if you assume that it's ok to rely on their security alone for very sensitive data, you'll get burned sooner or later. It's much safer to assume the worst and take proper precautions. Wayne
