And since you mentioned Schneier textbook, he also said that a good safe is the one that you give to your adversaries with the blue print of how it's made and still is uncracked, not the one that you dump in the middle of the ocean and ask your adversaries to crack it (security through obscurity).
PGP is still uncracked, if I'd become a criminal then public PGP with at least 8k bits key would be my choice.
