 "A Bit Cypher (ABC) is a program that runs on Linux that can takes any
data file and transform it to a cyphered form that is "reasonably"
unbreakable. Given the key used for cyphering, ABC can take the cyphered
form and reproduce the original file exactly. 

The strength of the cypher comes from the number of keys,
10,000,000,000, and the processing required to determine the mapping for
each key, assuming the algorythm is at hand for decyphering."
