That being said, I am sure that JA is aware of this and using the best possible methods that he is aware of.
Can you run the numbers to see what would happen using the bove parameters?
Besides, the govt. will eventually crack it (probably 4Chan also) to see what it is, if it's legit, then they will know if he is bluffing or going "all in."
Thoughts?
Two problems, one is that it almost impossible to create a random key no matter how hard you try. Second, is that I suspect that the government has the backdoors for all currently available encryption programs.
Next, it would take the maximum length of time required under impossible long odds. The computer has a 1 in 20 chance of guessing the password after just 5% of the time required. A 1 in 4 chance of having guessed the password after 25% of the time has expired, etc...
