80 bits is not nearly as worrying as 50

Jan 17, 2019 at 12:38 comment added SEJPM Note that chances are that a replacement of all AES implementations would take about a decade (based on similar estimates for a migration to PQ crypto), longer if additional time is needed to select a replacement (2-5 years).
Jan 17, 2019 at 12:12 comment added forest @redplum That's a related key attack which is not an issue when you're using AES with random keys.
Jan 17, 2019 at 12:11 comment added redplum @kelalaka increasing key size does not nessecarily increase the security. For example, the best known attack on AES256 is better than the best known attack on AES128.

Jan 17, 2019 at 8:49 comment added kelalaka I think the first approach against an attack was the increasing key size. Though this may not prevent all kind of attacks.
