WikiLeaks' Assange will release encrypted 'doomsday file' if arrested
NY Post ^ | 12/5/10 | NEWSCORE

Posted on 12/05/2010 1:41:59 PM PST by Nachum

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has circulated across the internet an encrypted “poison pill” cache of uncensored documents suspected to include files on BP and Guantanamo Bay.

One of the files identified this weekend by The (London) Sunday Times — called the “insurance” file -- has been downloaded from the WikiLeaks website by tens of thousands of supporters, from America to Australia.

Assange warns that any government that tries to curtail his activities risks triggering a new deluge of state and commercial secrets.

The military papers on Guantanamo Bay, yet to be published, believed to have been supplied by Bradley Manning, who was arrested in May. Other documents that Assange is confirmed to possess include an aerial video of a US airstrike in Afghanistan that killed civilians, BP files and Bank of America documents.

One of the key files available for download -- named insurance.aes256 -- appears to be encrypted with a 256-digit key. Experts said last week it was virtually unbreakable.

Yup. Assange is a stooge for Soros and the O-islamist. McCain is another soros puppet with Lindsay Graham-nesty.

AES256 is a very, very secure protocol. It uses a 256bit key, not a 256 character number, i.e. the key is 2^256 long.

LOL. 8-3=5, so the key is 32 bytes long - i.e. 256/8 = 32. It has 2^256 possible values. If it were 2^256 bits long ... well, you know ...

We’re well past that point. He’s given his bona fides. Boy, this is just like Perry Mason, only kind of a Super Perry Mason, given the scope of the action. According to that idea, we’re about 20 or 25 minutes into the show, waiting for the obvious victim’s body to be discovered.
