Generally though, nobody bothers with multiple encryption, especially since it's much slower and more complicated to implement alongside what @SAIPeregrinus said. | |

| Aug 13, 2022 at 16:43 | comment | added | SAI Peregrinus | By "super encryption" do you mean cascaded (multiple) symmetric encryption, i.e. using multiple symmetric ciphers with independent keys to encrypt data? In that case, in general a cascade is as difficult to break as the first cipher, and the latter ciphers don't necessarily add any security. Of course the details matter, and the latter ciphers can allow it to be as difficult to break as the strongest cipher (and the weaker ones don't add any security). Because of this we usually just use the strongest cipher and dump the rest. | |
