This got me wondering how much of Tor, i2p, etc the NSA has archived. Or privacy coins like XMR.
I'm also curious. If you don't capture the key exchange but instead only a piece of cypher text. Is there a lower limit to the sample size required to attack the key? It feels like there must be.
Afaik AES is not vulnerable to any kind of statistical methods nor quantum decryption, so you'd have to capture the key exchange. Not that it makes the situation all that much better.
