No, this is nonsense. > Remember, IT security doesn't have to be absolute. The field of applied cryptography is absolutely reliant on near physical unbreakability of its algorithms, or it doesn't work at all. (you need n-times the life time of the universe to have a working bruteforce, and as much overwhelming mathematical proof of non-applicability of non-bruteforce approaches as possible.) And it was actually found to be extremely hard to make crypto algos which are only "slightly" unreliable. Either they are a complete mathematical iron wall, or their deemed weakness is too glaring to be hidden.
