Now, what if the key is 10 chars long...
They would be 2^10 = 1024 possible keys, which is not really much to
try out.

yes 2^10 is indeed 1024, but AES works with at least 2^128 which means a lot of cpu power. you have multiple rounds of encryption with a block size of 128bit and a key length between 128-256bit.

you sure need a cluster or some kind of distributed network in order to make a good brute-force attack.

are you interested in further academic research on this topic ?
