Question
Alice and Bob are using the ElGamal cipher with the parameters \( p = 199 \) and \( \alpha = 3 \).

Their parameters are small and we decide to crack the cipher.

Suppose Alice is observed sending public ephemeral key \( k_E = 103 \) and Bob sends public key \( \beta = 136 \).

Alice is observed transmitting the ciphertext \( y = 68 \).

a) What is the masking key \( k_M \)?

b) What is the plaintext?
