Hmm. Why don’t you let everyone know what you know about encryption. Or, let everyone know how much you don’t know about encryption by just stating, “Nothing is unhackable”.
Opsec is a treadmill. Everything is hackable. This is why companies hire penetration testers.
I mean... also, insecure things are eminently hackable and you don't know until someone has tried. That's the main reason companies hire penetration testers.
I think my knowledge suffices to say that equal to physical security no security is forever safe. At some point a weak point will be exposed.
And if you can get a hand on encrypted content and live long enough with the right ressources and determination you might be able to crack something.
Because afaik it's all math at some point. Math is logic and logic can be cracked.
Interesting. Currently, I guess if you have hundreds of years to sit at the most advanced computers currently available you too can crack modern encryption…
