Drexler's estimate for computers are coservative (purely mechanical rod logic). SWNT-based reversible logic (in spintronics? even utilizing nontrivial amounts of entangled electron spins in solid state qubits for specific codes?) could do a lot better. So today's secrets perhaps won't be in a few decades. What else is new? Rather, who's passphrase has 128 bits of pure entropy? Certainly not mine. So the weakest link is elsewhere.
diameter. So we'll probably get some advance notice - "Hey, what's that big-ass thing orbiting around the Moon?"
By that time the question is rather "do you think that's air you're breathing?"
