Learn to program in any language in just 15 seconds:

1. Go to sourceforge, find the project that already sorta does what you want
2. Find a newsgroup, forum, or a neighbour's kid and whine to have it custom tailored to your exact needs, everyone else be damned, free of charge since it is "open source".

NB: Never, ever, ever provide your name, email address or physical address when requested for delivery of code - this is a trick, unless of course, you've won the british national lottery or a foreign politician needs to smuggle money out of their country.  That's always on the up and up, I swear...

Quantum Encryption pops up in the news from time to time and one of the claimed strengths is always that if someone intercepts the signal, you will at least know because they will disturb the stream.

"QKD offers a theoretically uncrackable code, one that is easily distributed and works in a transparent manner. Even better, the nature of quantum mechanics means that if any eavesdropper – called Eve in the argot of cryptographers – tries to snoop on a message the sender and receiver will both know."

 But how realistic is it?

In a world where laser printers secretly embed tracking codes in your printouts, and there are almost more cameras than corners to put them on, how do you define paranoid?

Worse, when they suddenly want you to PAY them to install cameras in your home, how could you possibly define paranoid enough?

Ya, sure, I'm paranoid, *I*'m the deluded one... riiiight.....
