  1. The encryption used when I was in the military was based on a 64-bit key. A million processors (easy to procure if you are a state actor) brute forcing a million keys per second (should be easy) will break the code in an average of 9 million seconds, or about 16 weeks. I don't know if the equipment based on this key is still in use; it's been twenty years since I left the military.

  2.  @MaxPower-11  The solution that was already in use when I was in the service was to encrypt using one piece of crypto gear, and then apply a second layer of encryption using a different key and equipment using a different PRNG.
