How many combinations needed to decode AES-256 key?
I am not very good in cryptography but I think its something like Combination 256 of 16. Its not too much.
IF use all worlds computing power what time needed for decoding?

If you were simply brute forcing every possible key, there would be 2^256 keys you need to try. You’d expect to find it after going through (on average) half of the keys, so average expected number of attempts would be 2^255. This is a Really Big Number. If every atom on earth (about 1.3 * 10^50 atoms) was a computer that could try ten billion keys a second, it would still take about 2.84 billion years. Brute-forcing is simply not possible – you’d need to find a weakness in the algorithm that lets you take a short-cut here.
