I already cracked this standard.
I don't bother with computers; I used pencil, paper and a slide rule.

If you found a serious flaw in AES (or any other encryption system commonly believed to be secure), the financial incentive to keep it secret would be enormous.

I think Laz is about to declare April Fools. Only this time Laz is early or late. One or the other.

They just made the keyspace two bits smaller. That in itself is not such a big deal; however, once such a flaw has been found in a cipher, others, more serious ones usually follow in short order. So, we better get ready to find a decent replacement.

To put this into perspective: on a trillion machines, that each could test a billion keys per second, it would take more than two billion years to recover an AES-128 key. Note that large corporations are believed to have millions of machines, and current machines can only test 10 million keys per second.
So, all we need is a million times more computers than we already have, and they have to be 100 times faster than what we have now. Then all it will take is about 2 billion years to crack a single key? Dang, time to start working on a replacement for AES. I could probably get some porkus money to do that - it'd be about as useless as every other rat-hole our money has been poured down by that ...

Microsoft research has some smart people working for them.

They’ll just bump everything up to 256-bit AES—which would be just about impossible to break.
