...currently existing encryption schemes are based on improvable assumptions," Rabin said. "As a consequence, it is in principle possible that people using a secret algorithm and a sufficiently powerful computer will be able to break a code...
Rabin said people often eavesdrop on conversations and capture and store the coded messages. They then read the messages once they have perfected their code-breaking methods--a technique that Rabin's system would thwart...
...This new encryption preserves the secrecy of messages indefinitely so that even an adversary with unlimited computing power and who is infinitely smart in code breaking cannot ever decode the message," he said...
Robert Morris, a retired cryptographer who was chief scientist for the National Security Agency, said although Rabin's method does make code-breaking more difficult, code-breakers will simply find another way to eavesdrop on the message...
...common way to target relief is to create income thresholds. The existing code has some two dozen. Among them: converting a traditional IRA to a Roth (can't do it if you make $100,000), making deductible contributions to a Roth (uh-uh, not if you're single and earning $95,000 or a couple earning $160,000), and taking HOPE scholarship and Lifetime Learning credits (limit: $40,000, singles; $80,000, couples). Bush can't just dump the thresholds. Democrats would scream: Tax cut for the rich...
