      Diese sind gute News, kein Zweifel. Prima ist auch die 
Marketing/partie des Ver/treibers Atlantic Coast PLc, weil 
sie verbreitet, dass dies Pro/gramm 
ein Siebzehnjähriger geschrieben hat.

A 17 year-old UK schoolboy has written what is claimed to be 
the strongest encryption available in the UK - using an 
unbreakable 2040 bits compared with 56-bit favored by 
western governments. Peter Parkinson's Unbreakable 
Encryption program has been snapped on by online software 
sales organization Atlantic Coast Plc and is available from 
their web site at $59 for a single user license. 
 
While major software companies are barred from exporting 
encryption stronger than 56-bit by governments expressing 
fears that they will be unable to track criminal or 
terrorist groups, mathematics student Peter took just six 
months part-time work to come up with a program based on the 
well-known RC4 algorithm. For those organizations that wish 
to shield their information from the eyes of governments, 
obtaining strong encryption software poses little problem - 
companies in countries like Ireland are filling lucrative 
gaps in the market created by export bans.
