What about security?

Sting Publications includes secure processing of your orders using SSL encryption. Your orders are processed and stored on our secure commerce server and protected by a unique user ID account and password.

How secure is modern cryptography?

Very secure. It has been calculated that a 128 bit symmetric key would on average take more time to crack by brute force than the solar system has left before the sun goes nova and swallows the earth! Similarly, it is estimated that it would take roughly the same amount of time for someone to crack a 1024 bit asymmetric key. That's a very long time! It is far more likely that you accidentally give away your pass phrase than that the actual ciphers will be cracked. As someone said, "human beings crack far more quickly than modern ciphers".
