Okay look, I'm not saying they can crack it, and I'm not saying they can't... But if you were wearing a tin-foil hat, you might seriously want to ask yourself these two basic questions: * If the italians cracked the encryption, would they publicize that ? * If the NSA could crack it, would they tell any foreign government ? The right answer, IMHO, to both questions would be: NO.

Them having crypto technology that is 'uncrackable' is good. You having cracked that without them being aware is priceless. (see also: WWII, Enigma) See my point ?
