This is the level at which human and all extinct siblings lie, with no other extant species, all others were killed or fucked to death: Section "Interbreeding between archaic and modern humans".

In the context of cryptography, authentication means "ensuring that the message you got comes from who you think it did".

Authentication is how we prevent the man-in-the-middle attack.

Authentication is one of the hardest parts of cryptography, because the only truly secure way to do it is by driving to the other party yourself to establish a pre-shared key so you can do message authentication code. Or to share your public key with them if you are satisfied with the safety of post-quantum cryptography.

AGI-complete in general? Obviously. But still, a lot can be done. See e.g.:

Only certain battery voltages exist, because this voltage depends intrinsically on the battery's chemical composition.

Bibliography:

Since Snakes and Ladders is nothing but a Absorbing Markov chain, the results are exactly the same as for that general problem.

Whichever problem you present a German, they will look for a mechanical solution to it!

Largest programs ever written:

These come with pre-installed drivers, so e.g. nvidia-smi just works on them out of the box, tested on g5.xlarge which has an Nvidia A10G GPU. Good choice as a starting point for deep learning experiments.
