I mean theoretically ever the hardest encryption just buys you time. That time may be long past the lifetime of our own sun, but it just buys you time.
The same is true for locks and safes as well.
Being one of the few people who never had their bicycle stolen in a city where this is common, the trick that always works is: Just make your lock harder to attack than other locks that safeguard comparable things.
Good lock + old looking bicycle = no theft
> Good lock + old looking bicycle = no theft
"I parked my old, crappy bike and started locking it. Some guy went past and said, "Don't worry, love - no-one will nick that", and a passing crackhead said "I fuckin' would", and we three strangers shared a moment of humour together. "
I think 'one time pad' encryption can't be decrypted unless you get the key, even given infinite time.
Depends on the length of the key vs the message, but if the pad is 100 percent and has something approaching a random distribution, and the message length is suitably padded, and the results roll over in a modulo that is close to the information distribution, then all valid results become close to equally probable, so, while you may decode a message, it is very unlikely to be the message that was sent.
Still lots of ways to crack a poorly executed OTP.
I’d say
