Well its pseudo because it could be a crappy algorithm. If it’s a crappy randomizing algorithm, someone can reverse engineer it to figure out the algorithm. If they figure out the algorithm, then anything encrypted with that algorithm is no longer encrypted.
Through the years, security engineers have had to make more and more difficult algorithms to crack. They fold, bend, staple, spindle the data in ways and eventually someone figures out how they did it. Then they have to try harder.. and harder… and harder.

Great question though. The ‘gist of it is: If it was made on a computer, it can be broken by a computer.

My answer to it is simple but not many people seem to like it: If you want something secure and trulyi private, don’t use a computer. Don’t send it on the internet. Otherwise? You take a chance. I don’t worry about it because I expect things to get cracked into eventually. Then I have to change my password or whatever. I just feel bad for people who actually believe ‘the hype’ when companies/governments talk about how great their security is. It’s not. Can’t be.
