The DH algorithm can be used for encryption as well using the Elgamal scheme. Demonstrate this encryption scheme using a numerical example as follows.
Alice wish to encrypt a secret message, M =400 to Bob. They have chosen the parammeters and private keys as follows:
Bob: private key b =221, generator G=3, prime modulus p =659.
Alice: private key a =122
Demonstrate how the scheme works by showing what each party computes and sends to each other, showing clearly the cipher texts, and the decrypted messages,
(i) using the above numbers for M, a, b (5 marks)
(ii) using your own choice of numbers for M, a, b
