All of these tools are based on strong cryptography.

If someone -- anyone at all -- can break your cryptographic system, he or she can:

• send messages that seem to come from you

• tamper with your messages

• track everything you send or receive (by breaking the anonymity in an anonymous remailer)

• and detect the use of encryption or digital signatures in any message you send
