Yeah, encryption keys are only valid for n numbers of operations, that number changes depending on the bit size of the key, but it's a pretty large number. But yeah, getting into that's kinda the nitty gritty.
Even still, brute forcing even the smaller of AES keys (128 bits) takes a long time - not sure how accurate this is to today's compute, but from: eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=12.... in the uh, scientific notation of years!
