- londons_explore 2y ago> . Could a public encryption standard be made secure enough to protect against everything but a massive brute force attack, but weak enough to still permit an attack of some nature using very sophisticated (and expensive) techniques? And this, I believe, is the main reason crypto algorithms are usually broken after 20 years. They were designed to be breakable with very expensive tech, and over time that tech gets cheaper and 20 years later it's within reach of phd students and it gets broken. If it weren't designed with deliberate weakness, some crypto might still have design or implementation flaws, but the majority would last thousands of years since the underlying math its based on doesn't suddenly get weaker.
