QUESTION 3 (20 MARKAH/MARKS) Assume that passwords are eight characters long and that they can contain any alphanumeric character, upper or lower case. How many different passwords are possible in this scenario? (3 markah/marks) How long will a brute force attack take if it takes a microsecond to check a password? If Alice has public key YA = 5, determine her private key XA? (5 markah/marks) Consider a Diffie-Hellman scheme with a common prime, p = 13 and a generator, g = 7. (6 markah/marks) If user Bob has public key YB = 12, determine the secret key K shared with Alice? (6 markah/marks)
