I'd like to point out that you're all-caps conditional leads to a 
meaningful statement while the phrase in all caps you're responding to 
does not.

For example-- should person "a" use software "b" to make it somewhere 
between "c" and "d" times more difficult for a third-party to read 
message "x"?  Your sentence with the conditional could actually get that 
person close to an answer since it implies they can try to measure the 
work it'd take to break the security.  At best the all-caps OP provides 
no help at all.  At worst it short-circuits any further reflection-- 
after all, IT'S ALL BEING SPIED ON ANYWAY.
