  I appreciate the effort, and while I haven't gone through the whole thing, you could probably brush up on the use and meaning of "executive summary." Nothing personal!

  Article claims that making the encrypted file public is perfectly fine, so long as the password isn't made public.

  I think all of us here know how wrong that is. A password isn't going to stop people for long. It was a matter of time until it got out. Maybe it already had, and we didn't know it.
