| And, if it is so easy for them, it is as easy for other governments too, |

I didn't say it was "easy". All I said is that it is possible, with enough |
| 15 |
resources, to crack keys. I very much doubt that the NSA would be interested |
| 16 |
in cracking the key of the GPCode virus, since they are more directed to the |
| 17 |
National Security of the US. |

As for other governments, if they have large networks of supercomputers, and |
| 20 |
cryptanalysis experts, then it would probably be just as probable that they |
| 21 |
could crack any key from any publicly used cipher algorithm. |
