Question: Q 2 : As shown in the figure below, suppose Eve intercepts the ciphertext c = ( 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1

Q2: As shown in the figure below, suppose Eve intercepts the ciphertext c=(11111011000001)2 from Alice to Bob. She knows that the plaintext begins with m=(1100dots)2.

a. Eve suspects that a stream cipher is implemented with LCG generator, and it is generated by a recursive formula: Si+1-=5Si+1mod16. If that's the case, show how Eve can break the cipher and determine the remaining plaintext, i.e., the remaining 10 bits.
a. On second thought, Eve thinks a stream cipher is implemented using an LFSR using the polynomial: P(x)=x3+x2+1. If that's the case what would be the plaintext?
