crypto • one char = { 0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f } • possible values: 161 = 16 • two chars = { 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0a 0b 0c 0d 0e 0f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f ... } • possible values: 162 = 256 • 64 bit key: 264 = 1616 = 18Quint

log2 (18'446'744'073'709'551'616) = 64
atoms • atoms in a human body: 7×1027 =>
7'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000 => log2 = 92 • atoms in observable universe: 4×1079 => 40'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000 '000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000 '000'000'000'000'000'000'000'000 => log2 = 264
recap • 2n grows large fast 232 = 4B 264
= 18Quint • log2 n decreases quickly log2 4B = 32 log2 18Quint = 64 yay crypto and grains of rice yay databases and dresses
