Do you have any evidence that PGP cannot be broken? After reading through almost all of the snowden docs and 90's crypto wars and looking at the actions undertaken by the govt, how can the government possibly permit encryption that they can not break. Think about it in the lense of the post 9/11 hysteria. I understand the discrete logarithm problem and all the other important parts to show rsa is safe but computers do not produce truly random numbers and with that deterministic environment generating the critical primes for pgp I simple cannot believe that the NSA has not already enumerated a few trillion/++ factors.
