A long time ago when I was young I had a job in the military where we were exposed to, used, and changed encryption codes. Compared to today, I assume the methods were primitive, clumsy, and time consuming. This brings us to current events. The use of a private server to handle email for the former Secretary of State may seem to some to be OK, after all, she didn't send many classified emails. But let us assume this, those emails that were unclassified and were sent to her from various people at State and perhaps other places probably has multiple addressees. Now if her server got hacked and those emails were obtained, we now have to look at the possibility that same emails were sent to others, but were encrypted since they went government office to government office. Next, let us assume the bad guys intercepted those encrypted emails. If the same bad guys had the message that was sent to her in the clear, then a brute force approach would allow them to find the same message in the encrypted stream they intercepted. What does this mean? It means they could read every message sent that day using the encryption codes used that day. So, it isn't just her emails that can be read, it could be the whole department and maybe other departments emails that are made available by her choice of communication protocol. Of course, maybe encryption methods have changed and every message sent gets a different code. Maybe the government uses something close to PGP with private and public keys. But just wanted to put this out and see what opinions others may have.
That happened NSA,CIA,FBI,SECRET SERVICE
all exposed
No problem, GOPJ. With liberals, it is always someone else’s Ox, until it is THEIRS.
Ah, then I misunderstood you!
I can’t stand her voice, especially when that bitch gets in “lecture mode”.
No Comment.

I wrote this many years ago when she was first being thrown around as a possible candidate. I thought you might appreciate it:
*****************************************************************************
She will never, ever get MEN to vote for her. I am not talking about Rush Limbaugh’s “New Castrati”. I am talking about Normal Men.
Her voice is like chalk on a board. It is the sound etched deep into the primordial areas of Man’s Brain.
It is the sound of a woman who is very, VERY angry at him.
Her voice is shrill...and resonates a perfect, exquisitely awful dissonance at certain frequencies.
Primordial Man first heard that sound when he dragged his filthy, muddy countenance into that clean, dry cave and was lit into by Primordial Woman because he didn’t clean the swamp ooze off of his feet, or the Wooly Mammoth guts off of his malodorous fur skin.
That is the voice of Hillary Clinton. She tries to hide it. Oh, she tries so hard. But no matter how hard she tries, there are times she opens that mouth and every man who has part of that Primordial Man inside him, hears Her voice.
Of course, men with the Primordial woman inside them are just fine with her. They LIKE it.
I always knew I hated her voice but I couldn’t pin down precisely the reasons, except of course that I absolutely despise that bitch. Your breakdown fits her to a T. Thanks.
Interesting you brought this up when you did... lter in Aug 2016, not long after this was posted there was an arrest of an NSA contractor who had stolen a bunch of materials on encryption code.
Not plausible. Any such brute force attack would not need a cleartext and encrypted email to compare. It would simply need any short encrypted email. The reason that attack won’t work is random initialization vectors and other tecchniques that require guessing 2^64 or more IV along with the encryption key. Not feasible, with or without cleartext and encrypted emails to compare.
