Suppose Alice and Bob are using a cryptosystem with a 1 2 8 - bit key, so there are 2 1 2 8 possible keys.

Suppose Alice and Bob are using a cryptosystem with a 128-bit key, so there are
2
128
possible keys. Eve is trying a brute-force attack on the system.
Suppose it takes 1 day for Eve to try
2
64
possible keys. At this rate, how long will it take for Eve to try all
2
128
keys? (HINT: The answer is not 2 days.)
Suppose Alice waits 10 years and then buys a computer that is 100 times faster than the one she now owns (so it takes only 1/100 of a day, which is 864 seconds, to try
2
64
keys). Will she finish trying all
2
128
keys before or after what she does in part (a)? be thourough
