    Computers are hard, can everyone go back to unobfuscated telephone calls and handwritten letters?

        Makes me wonder if there are any cyphers that are easy enough that human meat could implement it but hard enough that it would take some serious GPU time to crack?

          One-time pads require no machines and are unbreakable in theory, though in reality they’re a pain to set up and use so people reuse keys out of laziness, making it possible to analyze and decipher encrypted messages.

          Security is only as good as its weakest link, and people are morons.

        Base32 is easy to write down. So there’s that for binary data.
