What is “military-grade” encryption?
Many crypto vendors claim their solution is “military grade.” This is a term with no real meaning, since there isn’t a real metric by which something can be judged “military grade,” except for it to be actually used by various armed forces. Since they don’t reveal what they’re using, it’s neither possible to prove nor to disprove something as being “military grade.” Some good crypto products unfortunately also use this term.
