Re: Encryption algorithm for wallet seed using customized words
I think it would be convenient to store the seed in Cloud or Hard Disk. Just apply some encrypt methods to encrypt the seed using a customized password and then store the encrypt file. If you need the seed, just use your password to decrypt it.
But it's unsafe. Because, the encrypt file actually contains the information of the seed. And hackers can crack the encrypt file easily.

If hacker can crack/brute-force easily, that means either the user use weak password or they use software which use weak/obsolete encryption algorithm. Relative strong password with AES-256 encryption algorithm would stop almost all hacker. And user can follow this xkcd's recommendation (see image below) to generate strong password which is relative easy to remember.
