TELL HN: New service that is 100% NSA secure

2 pointsmythriel12y ago3 comments

After a lot of research I have found that I can make a service that NSA can't do nothing against it and it is 100% secure. The solution is based on a math algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir's_Secret_Sharing I will bring this service to the world and everything will be saved :) Who is with me.?

I think it's a bad idea to use crypto from someone who just discovered Shamir's Secret Sharing (which practically guarantees that the system is going to be idiosyncratic) when PGP is available.

One sometimes wishes that developers who are so enthusiastic about helping get encryption deployed would focus instead on the UX for PGP/GPG, instead of developing new, broken cryptosystems.

I think it's a great idea, and am with anyone willing to stifle such intrusive surveillance, but my main question is, how do you prove this?
