An old encryption system uses 24-bit keys. A cryptanalyst, who wants to brute-force attack the encryption system, is working on a computer system with a performance rate N keys per second. a- How many possible keys will be available in the above encryption system? b- What will be the maximum number of keys per second (N), that the computer system is working with, if the amount of time needed to brute-force all the possible keys was 8192 milli seconds? | An old encryption system uses 24-bit keys.
