As seen in the Crypto Snake Oil FAQ from the 90s: http://www.interhack.net/people/cmcurtin/snake-oil-faq.html#... If the first 20-30 years of "please don't" didn't work, I am reluctant to think this post will help...

Military Grade iirc referred to the encryption schemes defined in the Rainbow Series in the 80’s and 90’s today it is a buzz word but I’m not sure it was always that undefined.

Well, until the mid-90s or so, encryption was considered military equipment, so it was kind of true back then.
