Crack it? HEH.

From: http://lukenotricks.blogspot.com/201...ncryption.html

They also went on to discuss the computational task of recovering 128-bit keys, where assuming
Every person on the planet owns 10 computers
There are 7 billion people on the planet.
Each of these computers can test 1 billion key combinations per second.
On average, you can crack the key after testing
50 percent of the possibilities.
it follows that the earth’s population can crack one encryption key in 77,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years

That's for the lesser 128bit AES.
