Question: ( Cryptanalysis , 2 . 5 pts 4 = 1 0 pts ) We use X , Y , and Z to denote Sender, Reciever,
Cryptanalysispts pts We use XY and Z to denote Sender, Reciever, and
Eavesdropper, respectively. X is sending a message to Y using one of the following cryptosystems.
The plaintext of the message consists of the letter a repeated a few hundred times. Z knows what
cryptosystem is being used, but not the key, and intercepts only the ciphertext. For systems ab
c and d state how Z will recognize that the plaintext is one repeated letter and decide whether
or not Z can deduce the letter and key. Note: for system c the solution very much depends on
the fact that the repeated letter is a rather than b c
a Shift cipher
b Affine cipher
c Hill cipher with a matrix
d Vigenere cipher
