How secure is our backup? |

AES is a small, fast, hard
to crack encryption standard
and is suitable for a wide
range of devices or applications.
It has been determined as
the best compromise between
a combination of security,
performance, efficiency,
ease of implementation and
flexibility.
128 bit AES offers a total
of 3.4 x 10^38 individual
keys. It is estimated that
if a DES key generator were
able to discover 1 DES key
per second, it would take
149 thousand-billion (149
trillion) years to crack
a single 128 bit AES key.
Currently, the technology
is not available.
