M1
A cryptography student has accidentally used the same keystream to encrypt two different messages, M1 and M2. We know
Оx805d3а2029c0а386.
a) What is M2 in hexadecimal? Please give your answer a leading 0x and use lowercase letters only.
b) What is the keystream? Please give your answer a leading Ox and use lowercase letters only.
Hint: These are all 8 byte numbers and will fit in an unsigned long type on most systems.

Expert Solution

Step 1

A cryptography student has accidentally used the same keystream to encrypt two different messages, M, and M2. We know that the ciphertexts are CI = 0xbcc61793955b5eb5 and C2 = Oxdea2c2fd718d3b77. We also happen to know that = 0x805d3a2029c0a386.
a) What is M2 in hexadecimal? Please give your answer a leading Ox and use lowercase letters only. b) What is the keystream? Please give your answer a leading Ox and use lowercase letters only. Hint: These are all 8 byte numbers and will fit in an unsigned long type on most systems.
