my favorite conspiracy theory - the govt has already cracked all the RSA codes but they keep funding QM to show that we're still secure.

I read once that if we really wanted to be secure, we would have a crypto library that was open source, AND all changes needed to be signed off by more than one of NSA, Mossad, FSB, China's agency, etc. This way if there is a bug they find, any agency has to assume other agencies have also found the bug.
