Generation

# Key Length and Brute-Force Resistance **Key Length:** 256 bits (AES-256) **Brute-Force Resistance:** 2^256 possible combinations (~1.1 × 10^77 attempts needed) ## Why It Matters A 256-bit key makes brute-force attacks computationally infeasible—even if every computer on Earth worked together for billions of years, they couldn't try all combinations. This ensures encrypted data remains secure against both current and foreseeable future computing power, including potential quantum computing threats (though quantum computers could reduce effective strength to ~128 bits using Grover's algorithm, still considered secure).
