If a top 500 supercomputer was needed then it is a strong enough
method for most.
I suspect the risk is that with a thumb drive of message traffic analysis
with tools like R  might find statistical hints to allow reading of the message.

With limited traffic a lot of methods are strong enough but
as the traffic data grows old school code breaking skills and insight apply.

Locally to me a number of folk are writing and testing artificial
intelegence code
that gets used by google/ amazon etc  to do voice, image and video
recognition as well as
language translation work.   They are making progress with single gamer class
deskside machines.
