Not an expert, but I'd say that a 2048 bit pgp public key encrypted file would take "quite some time" to decrypt without being given the secret key, and generating the secret key would take "rather a while" from just the data that you can get from things encrypted using the public key.
When posting to the list please use tangible units to measure space/time
You don't make it clear whether you are referring to a metric "quite some time" or the imperial one...Therefore is this longer than "rather a while" or not ?
Specifically we are looking for libraries of congress, Volkswagen beetles, surface of the sun, time since the big bang...that sort of thing :-)
