Eh? I didn't mean that at all. To the contrary I meant that every
encryption can be broken but that it may still be a useful deterrent.
I wasn't aware of the detail of the OP's proposal that the key was
right in the user's environment -- but that actually has an exact
analogy in the front door example: hiding the key under the mat.
