Considering that my passphrase has about 100 bits of entropy... yeah, I'm
fine with it :-)

If you decide to do the same, you should consider that I have access to
*far* more computing power than that... I work for Google :-)

(But, still, 2^100 is a very large number -- I'm more worried that CAST5
might be broken than that my passphrase might be brute-forced)
