You can never trust any "encryption" that you don't handle entirely yourself.

This seems to be some more theater, aiming to deceive the general public with regards to the "safety" of this "encryption".




Of course if you implement encryption yourself you almost certainly did it wrong and are leaking data. This assumes you even know how to "do it yourself".


I didn't mean "write your own solution", I meant:

You can only trust public key encryption and you need to create all keys yourself and you need to have 100% exclusive access to the private key.

And then, you need to pray and hope that the NSA hasn't figured out a way around it and won't too soon.
