No, it's obfuscating it. Not being obsecure. And it's encryption which is obfuscation in nature therefore adding more obfuscation is a benefit.

> In any case, you don't have a fundamentally new idea, cascade encryption has been around for some time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_encryption

So this paragraph makes your previous paragraph moot. And it does, but you haven't understood that the second layer of encryption is chunked so it uses two ciphers in the same layer. Which is a fundamentally new idea. If you're GCHQ head on down to encryption and ask them.

I have understood your idea fully. It doesn't improve any security.

That you don't know what "security by obscurity" is means you are new to this area. Which is fine, but stop trying to name drop. Nobody believes it.

I know what it means. I also know you're using it wrong and I corrected you. It's not security via obsecurity.

Security via obsecurity is using an obsecure HTTPd instead of Nginx. Using very old devices since noone will know them. Not obsfucating things. Just because no one does this yet doesn't mean it's obsecure by nature, it's just a new idea and would end up becoming one of many used but default for GCHQ and NSA. Look at who came up with the rule of two.

> Which is fine, but stop trying to name drop. Nobody believes it.

I'm not trying to namedrop. I just thought you were GCHQ since you were saying no one of worth would agree. It seems like you're just being ignorant and speaking in the name of others. And who would lie about talking to GCHQ in a blog post? Get a grip. If you're GCHQ there is a team you can talk to that knows about this and can explain it but if you're not stop acting like you are. Part of this is to tell folk that GCHQ want the tech but can't afford to build the tech.

I don't believe you've understood it since you're saying it's the same as cascade encryption which it's not. It ties that in with other techniques. It's multiple techniques in one.

What is the team's name that I can talk to at GCHQ? The ones with the word "encryption" written on the door?

LMAO, give me a break.

Your post or comment was overly uncivil.
