During the cold war both sides recorded everything because they realised that today's "unbreakable" encryption would be nothing in 10 years time. That's not quite so true anymore as Moores law is stumbling, but it's still a pretty cheap strategy, you just need a big pile of storage...
- _8j50 5y agoI hate it when people say that, especially when they know very well bruteforce isn't exactly the only way to break a cipher. I think if theu are honest, they all admit all of it is speculation (educated, but still), no one knows if there will be a discovery in physics, mathematics or information theory that can undo a cipher. Or even just a weakness in the cipher.
