that depends on the amount of computing power you choose to throw at the
problem (and its getting cheaper and easier to do). A cluster of machines
sufficiently powerful (3 Ghz cpus of some kind) with enough ram plus the
clustering software (say 1,000 machines) can make some work for this
easier. you don't need to have a BlueGene/L laying around, just 1,000
consumer grade machines with an optimized cluster OS and lots of ram (I
believe IBM put such a thing together for under $100,000 and it gave the
cray of the time a real run for its money).


And even then it'd still take millions of years. Would you please accept
that 2^192 is infeasible for at least the next 30 years?
no.
for each machine (or cluster you add) the tiime shortens and its not a
lineart progression wither.

for the statement, no I cannot directly support it. thism however does
not mean that its false, just that I don't have the technical background
to relate evidence to support it.


But a lot of evidence speaks against you. Do you know the terms
"reasonably assume" and "null hypothesis"?
yes, those terms are known. the term "reasonable assume" is not assumable in
this case. as for null hypothesis, I don't know (and I don't care).

"A lot of evidence" is not ALL of the evidence. again, I reiterate: just
because the evidence doesn't appear to support my claim, does not mean that
its false, just means that not all the evidence has been examined yet.


lastly, there is no such thing as an unbreakable code, period.


One-time pad is provable unbreakable. Period.

really? cite please?
