ok, the confusing part is right, this crash coarse in understanding is
not working well for me.
from what i understand, encryption will increazse the size of 'text'.
but not much more than 40%% (for a strong encryption). like those decoder
wheels at toys r us, both computers need the same key to decode the
'text' so it isnt jibberish. the strength of the encryption mostly
depends on the keyfile. this seems strange to me, why not use a 656 bit
encryption with a 6 billion byte key? most people have the room on thier
drive for key of that size. i am exagerating a bit. but still, the
point, imho, is valid.
