    Encryption only works if certain parties can’t decrypt it. Strong encryption means that the parties are everyone except the intended recipient, weak encryption still works even if 1 percent of the eavesdroppers can decrypt it.

      I mean, I don’t understand the point of an encryption that people can decrypt without it being intended. Just seems like theatre to me.

      But yeah, obviously the intended parties have to be able to decrypt it. I messed up in my wording.
