I doubt the researchers who invented this encryption algorithm are security engineers in charge of keeping those companies' software safe.
Even if they were the same people, the skill sets of each job are quite different. Being flawed at inventing new algorithms doesn't mean you're flawed at applying state of the art security to existing software.
- elil17 4y agoI would go so far as to say that making an algorithm that doesn't work doesn't make you bad at inventing new algorithms. Trying ideas that might not work is part of science.
- FartyMcFarter 4y agoAgreed - I didn't mean to say the researchers are flawed (negative results are part of the process as you say). I just meant that even if they were that doesn't really matter, in order to zero in on the OP's concern.
