The Reality of Encryption and Cryptography

Which of the following statements is the closest to reality?

A. There is mathematical proof that modern cryptographic systems cannot be broken.

B. Messages encrypted with modern cryptographic systems may be broken given enough time.

C. An attacker can easily decrypt and read cipher text if they know which cryptographic system was used to encrypt the message.

D. All of the statements are equally true.

The statement that is the closest to reality is: B. Messages encrypted with modern cryptographic systems may be broken given enough time.

What is encryption?

In Computer technology, an encryption is a form of cryptography and it is a process that typically involves converting or encoding information in plain text into a code, known as a ciphertext.

Generally speaking, an information or data that has been encrypted can only be accessed and deciphered by an authorized user who has the right private or public key, depending on the encryption technique.

In this context, we can logically deduce that "messages that are encrypted with modern cryptographic systems may be broken given enough time."
