[quote=duck55223] Decyrption isnt brute force with lots of computer power, its a very tedious process that can takes months. And this is only further problematic by the fact that the two nations are most likely using entirely different operating systems, programming, and processor type and such. At that point its near impossible to decrypt it. [/quote] Decryption is simply deciphering a code. As with any code, if you have a system that it able to do so at a fast enough speed, it may be entirely feasible to brute force the code. If you have enough computer power, a brute force attack might be the more logical method than, as you say, undergoing a tedious task. Also, if you would care to look at the tedious task, you would see it is tedious because of the amount of thought that has to go into it. If you have a being that can think quicker, run the tests quicker etc you will reach the conclusion quicker. A tedious task is less tedious if the beings involved could combine their processing power and share all thoughts instantly. More brain = more power = faster results. Also, its not. Impossible or unfeasible. If one was able to translate the language (Computer encryption is generally done in binary. It might be harder to translate the language than to break the encryption, all things considered) As for the processor type thing, I don't really understand where you are coming from. Jim the hacker down the street might have a different processor to me, that doesn't stop him from being able to hack my computer. Neither would him using a Mac and me using Windows... Which both have different programming. Which again has a lot of binary and numbers involved, and numbers are universal in value and thus meaning. Edit: Also, isn't this conversation entirely pointless as we are discussing whether I could translate the words "Eternal Mother" and "High Command" in order to have the tribunal jab at the beliefs and make incredibly bad jokes? The important part is the knowledge of location, which doesn't need me to crack the encryption anyway...
