What is the potential gain to your adversaries?

The other question is: Why would you do this?

The answer is: You can publish things that are encrypted, but the level of confidence is tied up with knowing that the encryption is secure against all attack vectors as applied by your most determined and well-resourced adversary for ten years, during which time advances in attacks will be made.

If you think no one will really care, if your adversaries have little or nothing to gain, then you're probably fine.

If they stand to gain a lot, you're probably not.

But I'm not an expert, I'm just trying to highlight some of the issues for you.
