"What Encryption Standard Has Yet To Be Cracked"?
  • just curious...are there any out there that have been impervious to getting cracked? for awhile people thought that WPA2 would stand the test of time until it was recently thwarted. so what standard of encryption do we have out there that has not been defeated as of yet? SHA? Blowfish? 3DES?
  • There is a new encryption based on polarized photons.
    Also quantum encryption wouldn't be able to crack by common terminals.
    Just use Google to search for uncrackable encryption.

    RIMS encryption used in blackberry is yet to be cracked as of now...

    One that I know of is the One-Time Pad encryption. However, while the crypt-text itself is uncrackable without the key (the pad), it's only safe if the pad is safe. Just goes to show how the chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.

    Advance Encryption standard (AES) is a modern standard which is yet to be cracked.Probably the best encryption method available till now.

    WPA,WPA2,MD5,SHA* are all yet to be cracked, the only way around is to use the brute forcing method.

    in comparison to that, WEP has been cracked and can be converted back.

    acton1x says "WPA,WPA2,MD5,SHA* are all yet to be cracked"


    is that the dumbest thing ever posted here???

    WPA was cracked ages ago!

    Sry, if I went with the wrong argument, by defining cracked = key recovery.

    Using WPA with the TKIP algorithm has been "cracked" in a way, by which the attacker can decrypt the traffic, but not recover the key.

    The MD5 key can't be as easily converted back like WEP, but with the help of a rainbow table it is possible.

    SHA2 has not been fully cracked, only about half of the rounds which it contains.
    https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/SHA-2

    Again I meant by cracking the instant recovery of the key.

    Have you never encountered a person who said was wrong?

    RC4 was at one time considered a munition and banned from use with heavy export restrictions, twofish, blowfish, aes - has never been broken I side with acton on that one aes has not been cracked, if your compairing that to WPA cracking, where they brute force the WPS Key with Reaver && Wash that is not breaking the encryption. In fact the closest thing to that is capturing the WPA2 Handshake and replaying it with RAINBOW Tables with a HUGE password list in the hope that you might stumble across their password. As Null Set says "Just goes to show how the chain is only as strong as it's weakest link." If they choose a crappy password of under 256 bytes then of course cracking it becomes trivial.
