Only 16 of the 32 address bits are available for randomization, and 16 bits of address randomization can be defeated by brute force attack in minutes. 64-bit architectures are more robust, with 40 of the 64 bits available for randomization. Brute force attack for 40-bit randomization is possible, but is unlikely to go unnoticed.
Breaking a symmetric 256-bit key by brute-force requires 2 128 times more computational power than a 128-bit key. One of the fastest supercomputers in 2019 has a speed of 100 petaFLOPS which could theoretically check 100 trillion (10 14 ) AES keys per second (assuming 1000 operations per check), but would still require 3.67×10 55 years to ...
