They dont have to crack any major encryption standards. They have other options:
* Force the bank to give them your data.
* Force the bank to give them their private key.
* Store all encrypted traffic and decrypt it some day in the future.
* Break into your computer and monitor what you do.
* Force certification authorities to help them with a man in the middle attack.
And probably many more I cannot think of.

A private server operator could destroy data as soon as it was consumed, if she pleased. Store all encrypted traffic and decrypt it some day in the future. Not going to happen, and if it does we'll all have bigger problems to worry about, as I already addressed.
