Just some reading material for those internested.

So how long would it take to break a 128-bit key?
Callas: Here's an analogy. Consider a computer the size of a grain of sand that can check one key in the amount of time it takes light to cross it. Now cover an Earth-sized planet (let's not use the actual Earth) with these computers to a depth of one meter. It will take this distributed network an average of 1,000 years to break a single 128-bit key. I don't know about you, but I consider that safe enough for me.
