"Current methods of ENCRYPTION are mathematically proven to be infeasible to crack" -- you know this is not actually true, right?

Re: soccerfrreak25, chats_noirs et al - look up Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography, or just check this link for a summary of the idea that SoulSkorpion is referencing: http://tinyurl.com/l2kajj5 The point being that brute-forcing a perfectly implemented, 256-bit encryption space is infeasible *due to the laws of physics*, not our technology. (Of course, there are other methods of attack, and implementations will never be truly 'perfect', but even 'good' implementations should be very, very strong.)

Addendum to the comment below me, unfeasible** given current computing methods and power. at the current rate of progress many wont stand for more than a decade at best, compounded by an increased look to cluster and distributed computing. The USA is actually building such a facility for this exact purpose. Also they are only hard to crack given brute force methods, if you can find a way to get some information about the encryption (half a key, rainbow table etc) they become much easier.

No, you don't get it. Current methods of ENCRYPTION are mathematically proven to be infeasible to crack. You CAN hide secrets from the future.

Derp. You'd really think a geek would research his shit before writing an entire song about it. Brute-forcing current, modern encryption techniques takes till the entropic death of the universe to finish, and assuming there must be a flaw in encryption algorithms is ignorant at best.
