| 5 | On average yes. |

| 7 | As already pointed out, however, there is nothing |
| 8 | to prevent the first guess from matching a key and |
| 9 | cracking one particular example of the cipher in |
| 10 | 0.0001 seconds. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Therefore, brute forcing an AES key of any length |
| 13 | is quite possible, even if it is unlikely. q.e.d. |
