Some encrypted data is worthless. Some isn't. Depends on what value it has when down the road the encryption is broken.

- tatersolid 5y agoIf AES being broken is in your personal threat model, you have far more to worry about than passwords.
- postalrat 5y agoWhat if its broken in 10 years? Or in 50 years? Eventually it will be.
- tatersolid 5y agoI’d wager you could survey 100 cryptographers and at least 90 would say the AES-256 primitive itself will never be practically broken, even by large-scale quantum computers. Related-key attacks aren’t realistic or practical.
- junon 5y agoProperly encrypted data is worthless unless you intend to get the keys somehow. Breaking industry standard encryption schemes shouldn't be in your threat model.
