All of these questions are answered in Bruce Schneier's excellent
book, Applied Cryptography, as well as in the sci.crypt FAQ and other
places.  Please take a look.

| - How can PGP help secure something like e-mail?
| 
| - Are there any encryption schemes which are "unbreakable"?
|

| read or altered by anyone else, or is it not possible?
