Alice and Bob are using the EIGamal cipher with the parameters p = 89 and a = = 3. Suppose Alice is observed sending public ephemeral key kĘ = 7 and Bob sends public key ß = 44. Their private keys are i = 81 and d = 28, respectively. a) What is the masking key k? b) What is the encryption of x = 31?

Question
Alice and Bob are using the ElGamal cipher with the parameters \( p = 89 \) and \( \alpha = 3 \).

Suppose Alice is observed sending public ephemeral key \( k_E = 7 \) and Bob sends public key \( \beta = 44 \).

Their private keys are \( i = 81 \) and \( d = 28 \), respectively.

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

[Answer Box]

**b)** What is the encryption of \( x = 31 \)?
