What if we posted encrypted messages on this board, and sent the keys to the leaders of local groups who could tell the secret message to their trusted members.

For example the following is a secret message: Az vvlr hk ktfryaumh

Use the following website to decode:

http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/otp.php

The key is: eveningmyfrensofold

Input it into the pad, make sure you set it to decrypt.

What does /pol/ think of this? This is a very simple cipher and could be cracked quick enough, but you could always use more complex encrypting algorithms and use multiple levels of encryption. Now I get that if you have a secure enough means of giving someone the cipher key you may as well just give them the message, but here your message can have greater reach. Just an idea. Please roast me.

What you described already exists. It's called end to end encryption, some sort of telegraph group for example.

There is no need to post things publicly if they are encrypted, you would be generating metadata (people would know when you post, how many posts, the poster IP, etc). And if the password was hacked they could read all the messages.

Also your approach would still fail if you trusted the wrong person so there is no advantage.
