Likewise, if someone is assuming others' identities on 4chan, the moderators will catch them and ban them. If someone breaks into your house, the police will catch them and throw them in jail. A tripcode functions like the lock on your front door: it only needs to keep out casually mischievious people, because there are social mechanisms to take care of people who circumvent it. A number of "secure tripcode" schemes have been proposed to add cryptographic strength in various ways. It is commonly said that the problem with tripcodes is that they are insufficiently cryptographically secure, providing only a 54-bit keyspace, and are thus vulnerable to brute-force attack (systematic guessing). If two messages have the same tripcode, readers can be reasonably sure that they were written by the same person.
