Description : Can I send an encoded letter to an inmate?

Last Answer : This is a very interesting question. I myself have no idea, but I’d imagine they’d reject anything that looks suspicious, so if it’s random gibberish at first glance, they’ll probably know what’s up and reject the letter. If it’s something you could hide within plain text, you might get farther.

Description : Which is the best encryption mechanism?

Last Answer : Tripple DES is a bit outdated. (DES itself has been around since the sixties). A modern laptop probably has the computational power to break it. A better choice would be AES but I tend to use twofish because I like the name. Don’t know enough about the other to make a recomendation. Sorry.
