# First Unbreakable encryption claimed

By Roy Osherove February 11, 2003

**Historical article** · Originally published February 11, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

[This article](http://slashdot.org/articles/03/02/11/0217201.shtml?tid=93&tid=172) on SlashDot tells about an israeli company [MegaNet](http://www.meganet.com/) that has devloped Unbreakable encryption using somthing calls VME (Virtual Mtrix Encryption) technology.

here's the exceprt:

[_![Encryption](https://osherove.com/img/ext/images.slashdot.org_topics_topicencryption.gif)_](http://slashdot.org/search.pl?topic=93)**_Posted by_ [_timothy_](http://www.monkey.org/~timothy/) _on Tuesday February 11, @04:12AM_**
_**from the jackson-pollock-claims-prior-art dept.**
Several readers have pointed to an Israeli company's_ [_claim of achieving unbreakable encryption_](http://www.israel21c.org/bin/en.jsp?enPage=BlankPage&enDisplay=view&enDispWhat=object&enDispWho=Articles%5El306&enZone=Technology&enVersion=0&)_. The linked article reports this claim uncritically. Do you think there's such a thing as unbreakable encryption? This_ [_isn't the first time_](http://slashdot.org/articles/01/02/20/136219.shtml?tid=93) _someone's made this claim,_ [_or second_](http://slashdot.org/articles/98/09/11/0837251.shtml?tid=93)_,_ [_or third_](http://slashdot.org/articles/02/03/28/1959249.shtml?tid=93) _..._

_\-------------------------------------------_

I wonder if that's even possible..
