AES and bcrypt are both used in cryptography, but they have significantly different purpose. Worth to note is that commonly used nowadays symmetric keys algorithms are believed to be significantly stronger that commonly used nowadays asymmetric keys algorithms.
I think it is not good to even try to compare bcrypt and AES, because they are for different purposes. Quote:
Of course some systems are still relatively more secure (of less insecure) than others and this is one of the reasons I use OpenBSD. I also think that users should pay more attention to security of theirs computers/operating systems. Some people deduce IMHO wrong conclusion that if NSA can break into any operating system connected to network used by somebody which they believe is high value target, they should pay no attention to security of their computer system. I really think it is stupid conclusion. And I think that somebody who is good, professional administrator of network can still secure network not only from script kiddies, but also from usual, civilian groups of blackhats. @Oko AFAIK one-time pad (OTP) is proven to be secure. Problem is that it is not commonly used, because it requires really big key, bigger than data you want to encrypt. |

Well maybe you should read the article below about a hack conducted by University of Tel Aviv researchers.
