The thing to remember about cryptography is that as long as it's based around computational power, it can always be broken at some point. Especially if we're building exponentially more powerful computers every N years.


Assuming the universe is infinite in some sense. Otherwise the exponential growth has to stop at some point. So base your cryptography around computational power beyond physical limits and you are safe.
