As I also have read in the Wikipedia, it is reseonable to crack a 56bits
DES, a 64bits AES if you have online access to the machine, and probably
in the future it might be possible to crack a 128bits, even offline.
But, a 256 one? It seems incredible to me. 2^256 is this number:
115792089237316195423570985008687907853269984665640564039457584007913129639936
which is 10^79 iterations, I can't imagine the amount of power needed
for cracking that...
Isn't 4x10^80 the amount of atoms in the universe?
25 years ago, I had a KayPro II with CP/M, 64KB RAM and 2 380KB
FDDs. (Sun 2s of the same era had a 10MHz MC68010, 4MB RAM and cost
$44,000.) Now, I've got 131,000x more RAM, 2000x more MHz and pair
of CPUs, and 790x more disk space.
What kind of specialized crackers does the NSA have now, and how
much faster and smaller (thus higher rack density) will they be in 2035?

yourself.
