Security systems being publicly confirmed: harmful (Score 1)

As security experts, I would find fault with telling the world this much about any security system. The first error here is letting this much information out at all because it narrows down the possibilites. The fact that this can not be confirmed is irrelevant. Any security system should NOT be able to be confirmed by the public, including public source. Make it as hard to crack as possible and keep it as secret as possible. Asking for any security system to be confirmed or confirmable is not only ridiculous but also harmful to real security experts who know better.

Skype uses 256-bit encryption, which has a total of 1.1 x 1077 possible keys, in order to actively encrypt the data in each Skype call or instant message. Skype uses 1024 bit RSA to negotiate symmetric AES keys. User public keys are certified by the Skype server at login using 1536 or 2048-bit RSA certificates.'
