This is moving off topic, but with decent crypto, the easy attacks are 
social. Dictionary attacks are one obvious social attack. Extending it 
to use names, say "snarlydwarf" is fancier, but well in the scope of 
attacks if you knew you were attacking someone with the Nom de guerre of 
snarlydwarf

The hard part of any crypto system is key management.
Even RSA, which was supposed to make key management easier is too 
complex for normal users.

Attack the weak link.
