To be fair, you could say the exact same thing about any modern encryption scheme.
- GavinMcG 11y ago"Simple" is... debatable. There's a good reason rolling your own is a bad idea.
- teambob 11y agoThe 'how' of encryption is often quite simple - it is 'why' that is difficult
- reitanqild 11y agoOr the other way around? Example: We all know why we should protect against timing attacks. How to get it right is the harder part.
- nl 11y agoNo. Encryption is designed to be irreversible without a specific piece of extra data. That isn't the same as not knowing the formula or initialization seeds used. Those are both reversible.
