A document properly encrypted with AES or similar modern methods would be considered "strong crypto" (using the article/'90s political terminology) and would be infeasible with current computing power to crack (assuming AES does not have a major vulnerability/backdoor, which has yet to be discovered by the top security researchers who depend on it).
