ALT Q: Why are encryption algorithms kept secret? A: Encryption algorithms are often kept secret to protect them from being compromised by attackers. If the details of an encryption algorithm were widely known, it would be easier for someone to find a way to break the encryption and gain access to the protected information. Keeping the details of an encryption algorithm secret makes it more difficult for attackers to break the encryption and access the protected information. It also allows the creators of the encryption algorithm to constantly update and improve the algorithm to make it more secure.
