I’m not challenging that AES is the most secure method of encryption known to man, as I never said it wasn’t. Again, I’m challenging your statement of impervious. You can’t state something to be impervious if there is any chance, no matter how unlikely or how long it would take, that it could be cracked, it isn’t impervious.

Ah, you are one of those. . . as in those who think that just because it's impervious now and for the foreseeable future, we should denigrate it because it might be, someday, be breeched by your magic algorithm and amazingly fast super-computer that no one today can even conceive of a way to even approach the problem. I see.

I told you, you believe in magic.

". . .any chance, no matter how unlikely, or how long it would take. . . "

Do you realize how unreasonable your criteria is? I just showed you that your being able to "crack" into such a complex encryption would be on the order of is really on the order of having a proton spontaneously evaporate in your cup of coffee tomorrow morning. Yes, that COULD happen, but the odds of it happening in PJBankard's coffee tomorrow morning are so slim as to as close to zero as it's close to get, yet that event is far more likely than someone coming up with a "Crack" of AES 256 encryption in your lifetime or mine. . . or your grandchindren's.
