Hello, i was wondering, is it possible to crack AES (any lenght) without brute force? I am not asking how can i do it, or which program to use for it. I am asking if there is any mathematical solution for encrypting it, can someone highly aware of mathematics get into encrypted data? Brute force is not a option if you don't have a supercomputer.

Recovering a key is no five minute job and despite being four times easier than other methods the number of steps required to crack AES-128 is an 8 followed by 37 zeroes.
"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," the Leuven University researcher added. "Because of these huge complexities, the attack has no practical implications on the security of user data." Andrey Bogdanov told The INQUIRER that a "practical" AES crack is still far off but added that the work uncovered more about the standard than was known before."
