Harvard's Unbreakable Encryption Code Makes Hackers Helpless

A Harvard University computer science professor claims to have developed Internet message encryption code that he can prove is unbreakable. While other "unbreakable" codes have been developed in the past few years, the latest one, developed by Professor Michael Rabin, represents . . . A Harvard University computer science professor claims to have developed Internet message encryption code that he can prove is unbreakable. While other "unbreakable" codes have been developed in the past few years, the latest one, developed by Professor Michael Rabin, represents the first one that is provably uncrackable.

Rabin, who backs up his claims with mathematics, reportedly said the code is also efficient, adding that adversaries trying to crack it are "helpless."
