The word cracked is meaningless in this context. Are you claiming that all
published cryptosystems can be broken requiring less effort than
brute-force, and that somebody somewhere has practical methods to do so?
That's a pretty strong claim. Can you back it up?
Btw, one time pads surely qualify as encryption, and they're provably
uncrackable. But I presume you're just saying Rijndael, 3DES, Twofish, and
all and sundry other methods have practical cryptoattacks against them.
That's not very likely, to say the least.
