Just to clarify, the author of the article is the one who is claiming that this encryption scheme is unbreakable. The company merely states this is stronger then any other out there-
"There is nothing stronger in existence," says 38-year-old Backal, a dual Israeli-U.S. citizen who was a tank commander in the IDF in the Lebanon war. "All other encryption methods have been compromised in the last five to six years."
We all know (or should know) that nothing is unbreakable (yet), all it takes is time. That is why people are using bigger and bigger keys, the larger the key the longer it takes to break it. Supposedly a 2048 key will take so long to crack that the data would be useless by the time a person cracks it.
