double rot13 has an unfortunate meet-in-the-middle weakness but triple rot13 was invented for this very purpose. I hope he makes the upgrade.

(obviously only a joke with rot13). It's most famously the reason that 3DES is a thing, instead of just double.

Thanks, and I'm happy this joke I've been saving landed on its feet when I threw it out.
