Question: 2 . An attacker intercepts the following ciphertext ( hex encoded ) : co = 2 0 8 1 4 8 0 4 c 1

2.An attacker intercepts the following ciphertext (hex encoded): co =20814804c1767293b99f1d9cab3bc3e7 and IV = ac1e37bfb15599e5f40eef805488281d He knows that the plaintext is the ASCII encoding of the message "Pay Bob 100$"(excluding the quotes). He also knows that the cipher used is Output Feedback (OFB) encryption with a random IV using AES as the underlying block cipher (AES-OFB-128). OFB decryption is shown in Figure 1. Show that the attacker can change the ciphertext so that it will decrypt to "Pay Bob 500$". What is the resulting ciphertext (hex encoded)?
