For scale, AES-256 encryption is currently the industry standard for strong symmetric encryption, and uses key lengths of 256-bits. An exhaustive key search over a 256-bit key space would be up against its 2²⁵⁶ possible permutations.

While I was struggling to come up with a good expression for the minimum energy used per password guess, I stumbled upon a blog post by Bruce Schneier. It contained a useful excerpt from his book *Applied Cryptography*⁶ involving setting the minimum energy per computation to kT:

I chose a more conservative estimate for T than Schneier did, and a *much* greater source of energy.
