Is ShyFile vulnerable to penetration by the highest technology available today?

Today, many people feel that well-funded organisations like the NSA can successfully attack a symmetric key cipher with over a hundred bits using brute force. Therefore, any data requiring long term security, 192 bits (a key consisting of 32 characters - when using ShyFile) should be considered the minimum key length for symmetric key algorithms (and in fact is ShyFile's minimum key length possible). Remember, that you can easily improve the depth of encryption (up to 1,024 bits - which should withstand a brute force attack till the next century or so) by entering a longer key (up to 6,144 characters).

Secondly, unlike other well-known algorithms, ShyFile was independently developed, i.e. the only one you will need to trust is us - but not any additional third parties. We can guarantee you: There is no back door for anybody, not for us, not for the NSA nor any other governmental organisation, whether American or European. Period. We almost certainly don't think this is the case with other "approved" algorithms. Besides, we don't necessarily consider it an advantage for an algorithm to be approved by a governmental organisation, as we think that government interests and crypto interests don't really match too often anyway.
