Fixxing Unbreakable Encryption, Only the exploitative cases Options

[Heath Robinson]

CODE

case 1:
    Bob encrypts his connection to Alice
    Eve initiates decryption on the Bob-Alice connection
    Bob drops the encryption removing Eve's progress
    Goto case 1

The problem here is, by it's very nature, down to the fact that a particular instance of the Encryption is cracked. Dropping the instance and replacing it resets all progress made. Cycling periodically renders nodes impossible to crack.

A solution is to change the Decrypt action to target the node itself instead of the encryption instance (but the action requires a visible instance of encryption that involves that node to work). Hits are maintained between attempts to decrypt different instances created by the node and once a particular instance has been cracked you have the keys for all encryption that node performs until an arbirary date in the future when sufficient new entropy for a fresh master key has been generated.


Quick, dirty, reasonable solution imo. Requesting Comment.
