There's a great (and short) video about encryption back-doors by CGP Grey: "Should all locks have keys? Phones, Castles, Encryption, and You." (Piped link).
EDIT: I still hate you Piped bot.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
"Should all locks have keys? Phones, Castles, Encryption, and You."
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
It's ok PipedBot, I will always love you.
Even more generally than that, remember that daemons are fallen angels and that same thing happens outside the metaphorical world.
So even if the mathematics allowed it, once something is out and being use with backdoored encryption sooner or later the "bad guys" will have the means to use it if only because of human nature.
