"Monero doesn’t encrypt any of those things. It perfectly hides the amount, it perfectly hides the recipient (more akin to hashing than encryption), and it obscures the sender - but in future it will perfectly hide the sender too.
Anything encrypted can be decrypted, and Monero simply doesn’t encrypt anything because its users value privacy and can’t take that risk."
