Paul, re:<The CPU ID number is not necessary for secure transmissions>

By ANY definition of secure, the above statement is true, so your statement,
"If you think there is a singular definition of secure, then you are totally incompetent when it comes to discussions of security
... this statment is irrelevant. I never said there was one standard of secure.

Then you accuse me of claiming that 56 bit encryption was "secure." I never said that either. Let me make myself clear,

the CPU ID number is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for providing 128 bit encryption, or any particular definition of secure trasmission.

As to your personal attacks, let it be said that I am "one of those people who make their living in the encryption business." Do you think GPS satellites transmit their telemetry and receive their commands in the clear? Who are your contacts at the NSA? Do you think a browser is "trusted software?" Which pins on a Pentium III processor are "red," and which are "black?"
