That's one way of stress testing them, even though a lot if not most have been cracked anyway. But the lynchpin of encryption security will always be maintaining the secrecy of the key. Are you not agreeing with that?
Hello? Took a break for dinner, or left for good?
Sorry took a break. Im not suggesting there is a case for data, such as private keys and medical records to be made public. But there is a case for making algorithms public so that they can be scrutinised and people will have more trust in using them. That doesn't mean an open algorithm cannot be patented, or that closed source libraries could not be sold based on the open algorithm.
