Just like all encryption, once the algorithm has been cracked then bypassing the encryption is simple.

The first rule of encryption is that the password need to be secret, not the algorithm. (not mine, but I cannot readily find the source, sorry :-( )

A truly good encryption algorithm is safe even if I give you the source code for it but not the password I used to encrypt the data.

That’s assuming the algorithm is sound. If the algorithm has a flaw then it’s only a matter of time until you can easily crack anything using it.

Thats why he said "a truly good algorithm" I guess
