Question: a. Let ?? = 111... ... 111 be the DES key consisting of all 1s. Show that if ?? K (P) = C, then ??
a. Let ?? = 111... ... 111 be the DES key consisting of all 1s. Show that if ??K(P) = C, then ??K(C) = P, meaning encrypting twice with this key returns the plaintext.
Note: ??K denotes Encryption function parameterized by a key, ??. ?? denotes plaintext and ?? denotes ciphertext.
