Question: The following is a simple public - key cryptosystem for character strings in ASCII code: The decryption function is P = C ^ 5 mod
The following is a simple publickey cryptosystem for character strings in ASCII code:
The decryption function is P C mod The corresponding encryption function C P mod is kept secret.
Each hexadecimal code of an ASCII character has digits. Each digit of the pair is encrypted separately using the above function.
Ex: The hexadecimal code for the ASCII character B is The two digits and are encrypted as mod mod
a
Decrypt the ciphertext:
The numbers are given in decimal. The parentheses and the commas are not part of the ciphertext but are used only to increase readability.
b
The RSA code is based on principles:
n is the product of prime numbers, p and q
e d mod p q
Break the above simple encryption scheme by finding the corresponding encryption function by using the two underlying principles of the scheme.
