encryption by destruction: a father-son conversation about information security
bro spent 3 panels reinventing thermodynamics just to say the cat killed the hamster
SON, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT A NEW FORM OF ENCRYPTION. I CALL IT "ENCRYPTION BY DESTRUCTION." YOU TAKE A PIECE OF INFORMATION, THEN DESTROY IT IN A RANDOM FASHION. THE INFORMATION IS NOW SO ENCRYPTED THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET IT BACK BY KNOWING THE ENTIRE STATE OF THE UNIVERSE AND HAVING NEARLY INFINITE COMPUTING POWER. WOWWW... EVERY TIME WE DESTROY SOME-THING... MAYBE WE'RE JUST SENDING A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE TO A FUTURE RACE OF SUPER-MINDS. WHAT AN AMAZING THOUGHT, DADDY. ANYWAY, POINT IS I ACCIDENTALLY LET THE CAT ENCRYPT YOUR HAMSTER THIS MORNING. smbc-comics.com
