I'll post a link to the news article when it comes out but here's the jist of it.
I entered a contest on who can create the best encryption network for some college. And out of 61 other people who entered, I won.
I manage to create a 8064 bit encryption key that would make the NSA proud. It would take over 17 years to crack by ALL the computers in the world. Including all super computers too as some random person who specializes in encryption stated lol. I guess they better get started or they may never see how i did it LOL.

lol, all encryption is really is scrambling the actual data. 8064 bit is how many strings of data is being use to scramble it. For example:
Pie
in 8064 bit would be known as
92386489rh2893rh8923ry239hakfATWE7893#&*$%@)hor
Actual code use would very. Think of it as an Unscramble the word puzzle.
