Hack it: Win $1M!

Permanent Privacy has announced that they’ve created an absolutely unbreakable (practical) data encryption system…and offering a $1,000,000.00 reward to anyone who can hack it.

That’s one miiiiiiiiiiiiillllliiiion dollars.

Harvard cryptanalist Peter Schweitzer has verified Permenant Privacy’s claims and backs the $1M reward to anyone that can read a sample of ciphertext.

Permanent Privacy’s Managing Director Peter White said, “The world of cryptography shuns and disparages outsiders, but Permanent Privacy is the real thing. You can now send emails and store data with 100% security. Even the Pentagon can’t read your secrets if they don’t have the keys”.

Permanent Privacy is geared towards a diverse user database, and should be attractive to:

• Individuals who are concerned about files stored on their computers, or worried that their private emails can be intercepted and read.
• Organizations that need to be absolutely certain that they are not the next media embarrassment due to sensitive data being lost or stolen.
• Developers who wish to build P.P. into their applications.

Permanent Privacy’s new developments is sure to rekindle the age old debate (governments tend to particularly fuel this fire) about using such strong encryption methods.
