Weird Press Release Claims "Unbreakable Encryption"

["The Security Community" <thesecuritycommunity () gmail com>]

This press release has been making the rounds and appears to have come
out of nowhere.  The company's Web site is simply the press release
and a phone number.  I have never heard of the "open challenge to
hackers" the company allegedly made, but maybe I missed something.

=================================
Unbreakable Encryption?

One company that claims to have created such a program is Praetorian
Key, Inc. (http://www.PraetorianKey.com).  Their program, they claim,
is better than an 'old style' alphanumeric encryption program, and
that it prevents any chance of access to encrypted data via keyboard,
mouse, or remote attacker using a network or the internet or a
network.

The only way to decrypt locked files is to use a separate 'key' on a
CD, DVD, or USB drive.  According to the company it would take nine
trillion years to break the code without a key.

CEO Howard Budwin issued an open challenge to hackers to see if anyone
could decrypt the files encrypted by Praetorian Key, but no one has
succeeded yet, not even the author of the program.  "Even if a team of
hackers executed a brute force attack, it could not be done.  It's
like being protected by Brinks, the FBI, and the CIA combined."
