years). However, a properly memorized passphrase, of sufficient length and entropy to make exhaustive search impractical, and proper "crypto hygiene" will go a long way toward making such raids ineffective.
A very basic question then: What _would_ be a passphrase of sufficient length and entropy? I would assume that the phrase "Off we go, into the while blue yonder" would not be sufficient, but what about "0ff they went, in'ta the black viod"? I would guess that either would be difficult to out right guess, but the second would be considerably less likely. Not as unlikely as "KIB&^%(*h89hgv&*hjV6*ibHF&90n", but a hell of a lot easier to remember. It has been several months since I read the PGP users guide, and I don't remember any discussion of that in it, but I could be wrong.
