  I am not sure if the secring.gpg file is encrypted as a whole "thing",
or if each key is individually encrypted... Since we can have a lot of
keys, and each one can have its own passphrase, I _suppose_ they are
individually encrypted. And I don't know how strong is that encryption
(GPG supports at least 7 cipher algorithms, and I don't know what algo
it uses to store the keys).

  Best Regards
