Technological Waves per Debora Spar

Public-private key encryption is the lynchpin of internet security.  It's extremely complicated math and not easy to use for encryption in general.  It's used to establish a secure link or shell, and the rest is handled by symmetrical and much less complex encryption.  RSA is similar, and the differences are too complex to wallow in.  PGP is an old encrytion standard (Prety Good Encryption) that's easy to break with modern analysis software and a laptop.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
