Well, when considering such a timespan there could be other (bigger)
issues... How long a today 'secure' key will remain secure? When will
quantum computers be widely available?
The only "guaranteed" crypto is information-theoretic one (neural
networks mutual learning, distant noisy sources, etc), where adversary's
probability of success is a function of the system parameters. But it's
quite impractical and AFAIK covers only interactive key agreement.

PS: in 100 years surely I won't (be here to) care if someone will be
able to read my mails or not :)

BYtE,
