NOT true. I have been working in the encryption field for 15 years and I can assure you that there are encryption algorithms that have no back doors, and crypto systems that do not as well. Many are open-source and peer reviewed; backdoors would be found.
There are crypto systems that have been alleged to have been intentionally weakened at the behest of the NSA, but there are others where no such tampering would be detected quickly. TrueCrypt is one of them.
