Question: The scheme will reject invalid ciphertexts ( those not generated by Enc ( k 1 , k 2 , ) ) during decryption. ( a

The scheme will reject invalid ciphertexts (those not generated by Enc
(k1, k2,)) during decryption.
(a)(5 pt.) Recall that CCA security implies CPA security. Justify why our new cipher is
still CPA secure when the adversary knows k1 but does not know k2
2
(b)(5 pt. bonus) Suppose the adversary knows k2 but doesnt know k1. How can a CCA
adversary use k2 to learn the encrypted message mb in a CCA experiment?
Hint: It is enough to understand i) the requirements of a CPA secure encryption for part (a), and ii) the CCA
experiment for part (b).
