Next time, you might try a Rivest-Shamir-Adleman public key cipher (RSA), okay “Stevie”?¹ Authenticating the QRC requires a slightly more complex protocol, and I’m a busy man.
Oh, and one other thing: What in the fuck is a “slrrpi ngbag”?
Amateur.

¹“In the RSA algorithm, a user R who wishes to receive messages chooses a large number N as a modulus, and a number E as an enciphering exponent. N must be the product of two large primes. The two numbers N and E are published, or made publicly available. A sender S who wishes to send a message to R expresses the message as an integer M. The integer M is then raised to the power E modulo N, and the residue M’ is sent to R as the enciphered message. If the message is long, it is broken into separate blocks, each of which is enciphered in this manner. Since R knows the factorization of N, R can determine the inverse exponent D to be used for deciphering. R then raises M’ to the power D modulo N, thereby recovering the message M. The modulus N and the enciphering exponent E are called the public keys, and the deciphering exponent D is called the secret key.”*

update: I’d like to distance myself from the above post. I have no idea what I was thinking when I put it up, and, to be frank, I have no idea what it even means.

update 2: And for the record, nobody really sent me a quadratic residue cipher. But my new Reason arrived today, so…

It is at that.
What are you guys, the freakin’ Falcon and the Snowman ?
“slrrpi ngbagâ€Â
My PW-decoder ring says: “hairy beanbag”
Don’t know what it means, but I’m pretty sure I’d like to slrrpi ngbag the Say Anything and Dusty girl!
Off-topic (yeah, like there was one), I toyed with the idea of getting protein wisdom decoder rings made and then sent out to site contributors. Maybe I still will. Thing is, I have to buy them in lots of 500, and I don’t think the demand quite reaches those heights.
Back to your regularly-scheduled predictable mediocrity posing as “adult content”.
Jeff, would these rings resignify your graphemes for us?
Hmmm, “hairy beanbag 
Well the Dusty looks like she might be into that, not sure about the Say Anything girl.
So Jeff, you need to upgrade your version of PGP?
I think Jeff should just stay away from that Angel Dust, Robin.
What, you finally get around to reading Cryptonomicon or something?
So I guess sleeping bag is completely out of the question, seeing as how ‘r’ and ‘e’ are right next to eachother … unless you’re a Dvorak conspiracy theorist…
Never ascribe to cryptography what can be easily explained by fat fingers.
Or something like that.
Spambuster: building
When’s the crescendo?
To Jeff’s credit, most people misspell Adleman’s last name. The original paper wasn’t that long.
Now nobody tell HundredPercenter that RSA were all … you know … descendants of Abraham *wink* *wink*
Hundred who’s this now…?
Wing-dings. The unbreakable code.
I just subscribed last month.
Good stuff.
What are you implying, Robin? That it was written by jooooooooooooooooooooooooos??
Because frankly, I am thinking this could be the key to how they’re secretly controlling the world like I keep hearing about. It’s the Encryption Protocols of the Elders of Zion!! I’m sure bagels fit in there somewhere too. And possibly lox.
– TallDave – It can’t be lox because all that salt would block taking the complement of the bagel function. Its more likely this is another one of Roves snickering, underhanded wrinkles he generates from time to time, to keep the moonies in a perpetual state of trembling paranoia. We’ll have to wait and see if the DNS takes the bait and posts an expose’, condemning Bush for passing CBS state secrets to FOX, concerning the Flonaise girl, and how the Conservatives have blocked the congressional bill to give her her constitutional rights to that “refill”.
Isn’t it interesting we have “Islamophobe,” “homophobe,” even “Christophobe,” but somehow we have no such term for the very large number of people (indeed, nations) who blame all their problems on jooooooooooos? Judeophobe? Never hear that one.
Apparently hating Jews is still PC.
Yogi,
Wing-Dings font wasnt created by Jooooos… The copyright for Wingdings (originally Lucinda Icons) and all of the Lucinda font variations are held by my aunt.. The Holmes..of Bigelow & Holmes.. and were created a decade before 9/11.. Just some trivia…
Sure, there’s “anti-semitism,” but no one even knows what a semite is. If you asked Paris Hilton what anti-Semite meant, she’d probably say it meant a virgin, or someone opposed to semen.
As in “The intern refused the assignment to work under Bill Clinton, citing her anti-semitic beliefs.”
Judeophobe is awkward to say.. How’bout Hebephobe or Kikephobe or Judenphobe ? (I heard the term Kike is making a comeback, but in Israel, where young Israelis are referring to themselves as Kikes)or even Jooooooosaphobe…
Over at My Pet Jawa, we just call ‘em “Greg”.
The antisemites, that is. Not the Joos. Those we call “Bruce” to avoid confusion.
