    Message in a bottle is the way to go.

    If hackers don’t know where the bottle is floating, they can’t read the message. It’s also completely disconnected from the Internet, further enhancing the already robust security. This protocol also supports all encryption methods you can fit inside the bottle. There’s no central authority, no servers, no licenses, and no EULAs to accept without reading.

    The only bottlenecks are bandwidth, packet loss, and the physical dimensions of the glass container.

      Reliance on security by obscurity is unacceptable, except when the obscurity method is the oceans entire fucking surface area.

      For the landlocked, may I recommend the Dead Drop Protocol? Leave the message in a place that everyone knows about, but only the intended recipients knows a message is there to be read. Like the Message in a Bottle, it supports all encryption methods and is disconnected from the Internet.
