This reminds me of good old:

The government

Criminals

Regular people - would be criminals

Those who sell stuff from Amazon.com to K-Mart, Etc.

Those who sell services, like telephone, Internet, cable, Etc, companies.

Credit card companies, banks, all kinds of financial institutions.

Pretty much anybody any-where, including the owners of the appartment that you rent.

The people that you work for also.

----------------

Is your cell phone secure?, What the government can do others can do even better, from then no cell phone will be secure, as if they were secure now, I don't think so.

It is kind of funny:

After all, thanks to Facebook millions have no privacy of any-kind, but it is of course their own fault, nobody forces you to join Facebook.

Microsoft Windows 10 and privacy.

Since I can ever remember Windows has always been calling home , that is nothing new, since Win98 or way before that, way before that, I am sure.

Even Firefox wants to have a piece of you privacy pie

Can you trust any operating system, computer, Internet browser, Internet provider, telephone, telephone company, television provider, bank, Etc?

Even Amazon.com knows more about you, than you yourself know yourself.

Use Google and Facebook and get your privacy taken away.

Use anything Microsoft and the same.

For that matter, do anything anywhere and everybody everywhere will know about it.

Even K-Mart might sell your purchases info.

Anything for a Dolla'.

To Be Or Not To Be?

So long as a password is the key to unlock something, then it is very likely that, that something can be unlocked.

If it is a communication such as a text.

I might be best that the text be converted locally then sent and the person who the text is for he can locally convert it back into the real text using a local conversion key.

So there is no password of any kind, just conversion keys, one at the source and the other at the receiving end.

Let them sweat at trying to recover the original text without a conversion key.

Can you or anybody else anywhere make some sort of sense out of this?:

0983 4877 5879 4789 4874 8740 8487 8785

Send it to the NSA and ask them.

Probably not, even a super-computer would be totally useless, even if the computer worked at it for 1 billion years non-stop.

Extremely simple and yet too complex for anybody.
