I think everybody is overplaying this. It will only matter if the amount of money or other advantages is worth at least $110,000.
The algorithm executed in Amazons cloud at the cheapest rate would cost that much in processing to get 1 key. The only people that will waste YOUR money to do this are governments and they have the equipment. If you really have something they want so much they will come through your door. Depending on what you are doing why not do 2 SHA1 or even an blowfish encrypt first. Better yet - you could write your own in a few hours based on other code - it doesnt have to be particular clever since they don't know the algorithm how will they break it unless it's just a simple transposition? Read between the lines Google doesn't use it so obviously people will start using Google's which will with 100% certainty will have a backdoor in it looking as to how they removed 140,000 indexed pages of www.naturalnews.com after the owner didn't give in to blackmail - "Don't be evil" my arse. http://www.newstarget.com/2017-02-23-breaking-mike-adams-and-alex-jones-taken-down-by-google-cia-prior-to-big-event-trump-needs-to-beware.html A bit of history of backdoors and homegrown encryption algorithm http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/NSAchallenge.php#axzz4Zb6ctE4v I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over this.
