The National Security Agency, (NSA), has a top secret, totally invincible code-breaking
machine called TRANSLTR, especially effective against advanced electronic terrorism. A disgruntled ex-NSA employee, Ensei Tankado, is a genius computer programmer and author of encryption algorithms. He has written a
program that creates unbreakable codes and is using this program to blackmail NSA. Tankado wants a
public disclosure of TRANSLTR. This multibillion dollar wonder machine that supports the CIA, FBI, DEA, IRS, etc., and traces & monitors drug cartel shipments, corporate money transfers and terrorists chatter on the Internet, also grossly violates human rights. It is able to open and read everyone's email and reseal it without public knowledge. The US government has the capability, with TRANSLTR, of violating the
privacy of computer users around the world. And Tankado is sworn to protect the peoples'
right to privacy. Sounds like a terrific plot, right? That's why I bought the book.
