ENStrong Secret 
Secret with a sufficient degree of entropy that conducting an exhaustive search for the secret is infeasible, even given knowledge that would enable a correct guess for the secret to be distinguished from an incorrect guess.

NOTE This might, for example, be achieved by randomly choosing the secret from a sufficiently large set of possible values with an even probability distribution.
