Question
im sure what step im missing.

Transcribed Image Text:(1 point) In this problem we explore the relationship between password length and cryptographic
security.
Suppose a password consists of 9 ASCII characters. You can review the ASCII characters here..
Exactly 27
= 128 of these codes are for printable characters; we will assume every character in the
password is printable.
What is the size of the keyspace that consists of passwords of this form?
128^9
What is the equivalent key length in bits? 63
Assuming that you could
check one password every 10-6 seconds, what is the worst case running time for cracking this
password by brute force search (in days)? 106751991.167
Now assume that the
user used only 26 characters from the keyboard. What is the key length in bits in this case?
How many days, in the worst case, would it take to break this
42
weaker password? You can't round to the nearest day here be as exact as possible.
42
--
Supposing you used only 26 characters, how long is the shortest
password that achieves 97 bits of security? 21
