Re: breaking 256 bit AES encryption Brute forcing AES is simply out of the question and will likely always be out of the question, at least until quantum computing comes around (and even then it seems unlikely).
Someone above said it would take millions of years to brute force 128 bit AES. That is incorrect. It would take trillions of times longer than the age of the universe. And even then, the energy requirements would be so large that the energy of the sun would need to be harnessed. |
