"If these guys have an encryption algorithm that the NSA can hack they should market it! They will be rich. " I assume you mean can't hack.
The fact that they couldn't crack the crypto seems more significant to me than the rest of the story.

It doesn't take a particularly big key to be secure if it is sufficiently random, or not created by a known randomizer. If they have a good idea of what was used to create the key, they have a better chance of cracking it.
