The block cipher: Anubis is freely available for free public use. Still it has not been cracked by anybody on this planet. Another block cipher called Grand Cru has a chain of 4 subciphers with independent keys. Even if 3 of the keys are known, the remaining cipher would still be secure.

Methinks, the days of governments reading private messages are over, particularly with the very high quality of encryption techniques which are freely available (open source).
Ram, you have NO idea what Big Brother is capable of. Nobody is secure anymore. Assuming that a piece of freeware is going to protect our privacy is like living in Trishanku's Heaven.
