history, showing the 'key' value in a viminfo file.
- There is never 100% safety. The encryption in Vim has not been tested for
robustness.
- The algorithm used is breakable. A 4 character key in about one hour, a 6
character key in one day (on a Pentium 133 PC). This requires that you know
some text that must appear in the file. An expert can break it for any key.
When the text has been decrypted, this also means that the key can be
revealed, and other files encrypted with the same key can be decrypted.
- Pkzip uses the same encryption, and US Govt has no objection to its export.
Pkzip's public file APPNOTE.TXT describes this algorithm in detail.
- The algorithm used for 'cryptmethod' "zip" is breakable. A 4 character key
in about one hour, a 6 character key in one day (on a Pentium 133 PC). This
requires that you know some text that must appear in the file. An expert
can break it for any key. When the text has been decrypted, this also means
that the key can be revealed, and other files encrypted with the same key
can be decrypted.
- Pkzip uses the same encryption as 'cryptmethod' "zip", and US Govt has no
objection to its export. Pkzip's public file APPNOTE.TXT describes this
algorithm in detail.
- Vim originates from the Netherlands. That is where the sources come from.
Thus the encryption code is not exported from the USA.
