EC3 has several levels of security. Standard government specifications for encryption call for a 256 bit key size - EC3 uses a keysize of up to 64K bits and is therefore up to 250 times stronger than the standard techniques. We believe that EC3 encryption is simply unbreakable. The weakest part of any security system is the key file. EC3 manages the keys for you to provide the best possible security.
Remember ultimate security requires that you hold your keyfile on a floppy disk and do not leave this with your computer.
