The best is the claim that multiple encryption makes it weaker or that encryption is the weaker of the two. If that were true we'd break encryption just by encrypting once more with a weaker algo.
- piperswe 3y agoThe invalidity of that claim is a bit more nuanced. Having an inner, less secure algorithm may expose timing attacks and the like. There are feasible scenarios where layered encryption (with an inner weak algo and outer strong algo) can be less secure than just the outer strong algorithm on its own.
