AES

[Goosemaster]

Assuming that one could build a machine that could recover a DES key in a second (ie, try 255 keys per second), then it would take that machine approximately 149 thousand-billion (149 trillion) years to crack a 128-bit AES key. To put that into perspective, the universe is believed to be less than 20 billion years old.

I could do it in 5 seconds.

THe answer is cheese.

 

[FrustratedUser]

149 thousand-billion fast computers can do it in one year.

wtf....

 

[Klandestine]

where's a quantum computer when you need one

I thought the answer was 42?

eleventy billion, that is all

Didn't they say the same thing about DVD encryption?

I could break that encryption... all I need is a German teenager and a sharpie.

Usually, the encryption isn't cracked. Hackers attack the Key-exchange process.

ex:WEP.

What are you going to do with a German teenager?

What else would you do with a German teenager other than......?

No goddammit. Wasn't it some punk German teen that broke a media giant's CD protection (a data layer on the CD) by drawing a circle over it with a sharpie?

Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron? That's what I think of, or is this not an acronym game?

Yes, AES is awesome. Totally replaced 3DES as the industry standard. It's also more comptabile with different processors because it's not dependent on big-endian and little-endian like DES is. Just wait until 1024 bit AES comes out. :Q

I know they're talking about encryption. That's all.

I am a failure as a geek.

Ah, I have yet to venture into the world of encryption. However, I have made a promise to my self to learn about networking this year.

 

[mobobuff]

Whoa! You lost me at one billion. :Q

Large numbers freak me out.

AES is a very advanced enryption system that is nearly unbreakable, it stands for Advanced Encryption System, or AES.
