К счастью, есть возможность передавать секретные зашифрованные сообщения по публичным открытым каналам. Это стандартная задача, которая давно решена в криптографии.Более того, зашифрованное сообщение можно сделать похожим на обычный текст или даже скрыть в обычном контенте — видео, звуковых файлах и тексте, который не вызовет подозрений у «ценз Read more
