Two things to bear in mind: 1) I don't claim this to be a serious encryption device. It's just a _toy_ for spy-minded kids. 2) Re: the single key, these little panels will be spread around so thinly for the forseeable future that more than two people at a time are unlikely ever to use one together. And if they do, then they'll form a sort of copycoder 'club'... i.e, it's a game for children and teens. Steve PS. There was a prototype also developed using variable key codes (hexagonal, rotatable segements containing binary-numbered element combinations) but there was no point - software encryption is so much better. I expect this simple version to be more successful in the market it's intended for... www.copycoder.com www.radiocraft.co.uk |
