gollark: I mean, if you have long enough wordlists.
gollark: It's still fairly high-entropy, is it not?
gollark: Being able to break the encryption on stuff is less obvious and can be done in bulk on intercepted data.
gollark: I'm an expert on this because I read *multiple* Wikipedia articles.
gollark: People are not idiots, and realized that that could be an issue, so there's work on designing asymmetric encryption schemes (symmetric is mostly safe as far as I know, except for Grover's algorithm) which cannot be broken by quantum computing.
