Notionally there is no unbreakable encryption.
Practically there is a unbreakable encryption (AES, SHA-3); our
standarts are more than adequate.
The risk with encryptions is more the possibility of a hardware hack.
Or a bad guy beating the shit out of you with a 5 Dollar Wrench until
you tell him the password.
In real life no one will use a super computer to break our hardcore
encrypted harddrives.
