The academic paper titled Interstellar Communication.
The paper discusses about a possible alien invasion either intentionally or unintentionally, by embedding code in a message.
A complex message from space may require the use of computers to display, analyze and understand.
Complex messages would need to be destroyed in the risk averse case, the researchers added.
They suggest that the messages we send to the aliens need to be carefully considered.
We should certainly not transmit any code.
Instead, a plain text encyclopedia, images, music etc.
in a simple format are adequate.
No advanced computer should be required to decrypt our message.
