Rather mathematical response to a question requesting an answer for non mathematicians ;-)
Since Moore's Law is giving us one more bit of decryption per unit time every 1.5 years, 4096 * 1.5 years is probably going to precede the heat death of the universe handily. But 6000-or-so years of Moore's Law does tax credulity.
