I meant having a sufficient amount of time before certain crypto schemes are broken. Maybe I really meant reasonable. In a reasonable amount of time we can expect quantum computers to attack crypto schemes.

If you mean brute forcing an encrypted message, then yeah: that could take until the heat death of the universe for complex passphrases. Infact you might even need several universes of time to crack some passphrases.
