Why should the said encryption be useless? The analyst has to
know what the encryption system is. If the candidate set is
of the order of 100, the time of decryption will be considerable,
even if he can successfully attack all.
If every person use encryption, the eavesdropping agencies will
hardly get informations they intend to find.
