(a) Describe the computing power, in terms of how many keys/seconds can be checked, necessary to be able to find an AES-192 key on average in under 100 years? (b) Now suppose that a super-intelligent alien race gifts humanity a powerful su- percomputer that is a trillion trillion times faster than the combined computing resources of the planet which is roughly 10¹8 operations per second. Assume that one key check one "operation." Related the computing power now to the value from part (a).
