> "white-noise.wav is a test file and I'm an acoustics engineer": tough, supply the seed to the PRNG which created it or fine time.

It's a photo I took yesterday. Now what? It may or may not have a secret message that only the target knows how to decrypt. Or maybe it's just more "traditional" text encryption with code names, but real human-legible text.

It's technically unfeasible to ban encryption.

If that seed doesn't generate that particular white noise sequence, or if you can't supply that photo, then you go to jail.

It's also economically unfeasible.

Am I using moonspeak without realising it when I say "I can't square this circle"? Is this a phrase that people are unfamiliar with and I just haven't realised?


the issue is that you've made a lot of a priori assumptions that do not hold up
