Actually, I'm pretty sure that whole movement can be shown to have originated in Canada, to be blamed on a dude from BC named Robert Menard.

But their primary goal is not to make it unbreakable - rather they want to make sure it gets distributed in case of system failure - possibly even in case of failure of their passphrase release mechanism. In this case, their best insurance is something reasonably hard to guess but not totally quasi-random.

I do understand exponentials. I also understand marketing and psychology. Why would they pick a random string hex key when they could use a simple, symbolic phrase instead? I just figure that if this hits the front page, maybe someone can guess it...
Submission + - Can't we just guess the wikileaks passphrase? 5
o_ferguson writes: Wikileaks has distributed an encrypted insurance file and, given their flair for panache, we all know the key must be some symbolic phrase. Let's start a pool, where we each guess what that phrase will be. Bonus points if you actually attempt to decrypt the file using that phrase (and document how) and the winner gets 10 Karma. Slashdot rules the shadownet. Let's show these journalist buffoons how crowd-sourcing really works, and crack the feeble minds that pieced together their end-of-life protocol. Just be sure to use torrent software to get your copy of the file. It wouldn't be classy to shalshdot their servers while they're being DDoS'd. What is your best guess at the wikileaks passphrase?
