I think it's important to keep in mind that crypto is probably not on a Moore's-Law-like track, so that the ciphers we're relying on today will probably be trivial to break in 20 years. In fact, the things that make 80s-90s crypto breakable mostly aren't algorithmic weaknesses but rather implementation flaws that weren't well understood then but are now. Quite a bit of 90s crypto remains unbreakable, because the data is at rest and will never be put back into a circumstance that exposes the weaknesses of its cryptosystem. |
