Actually, the U.S. government tried to control encryption, with the 
"Clipper" chip.  However, they lost out and PGP became popular.  Other 
systems are also available.  You may want to read the PGP book, for some 
background.

Also, read up on how public key encryption works.  You'll find out it 
takes a bit more than "42", to get the decrypt key.

If you're worried about the encryption method, you can always examine 
the source code.
