This is the main reason that I don't store any of my sensitive data encrypted on cloud storage.

If the encryption eventually gets cracked somehow, my data will be available not only to whoever owns, hacks, or otherwise compromises the cloud storage provider itself, but anyone who happened to have captured the traffic on any of the hops it went through on the way to the provider.

You should be using symmetric encryption, which is likely a lot less breakable.

What if you encrypted using a symmetric key approach instead?
