a. Assume that an attacker has a special purpose application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which checks 5*108 keys per second, and she has a budget of $1 million. One ASIC costs $50, and we assume 100% overhead for integrating the ASIC (manufacturing the printed circuit boards, power supply, cooling, etc.). How many ASICS can we run in parallel with the given budget? How long does a worst-case key search take? Relate this time to the age of the Universe, which is about 10¹0 years.
