This is a good place to test it. As far as not knowing if it will be used or
how, there's the now 'old' build it and they will come ;) Once it exists
people will figure out uses and such. Encryption is where things are going,
it can be used to help weed out the hackers and cracking that is causing
problems with the BBS. I'm sure ssh doesn't have as much trouble for that
very reason - encryption. I know they can't make it in my ssh ports and it's
much harder to do DDOS on them as well. Anything that's pretty automatic and
can be made in to a new 'standard' for BBS will likely help, it doesn't need
to be as much as ssh is.
Any 'code' could be 'encryption', even down to pig latin ;)
