Question: In the RSA public key cipher, encryption is done as C = Me mod n , where n = pq for suitably chosen large primes
In the RSA public key cipher, encryption is done as C Me mod n where n pq for suitably chosen large primes p q and gcde n In a chaining attack on the RSA, given a ciphertext block C Me mod n an attacker computes
Ce mod n Ce mod n Ce mod nCe mod n
untilCe modnCThatis,istheleastpositiveintegerthatsatisfiesCe modnC
a Explainwhytheattackercanalwaysfind in nsuchthatCe modn C
b Can the attcker recover the message M from the observed sequence above in case thatCe modnCisvalid?
