B has just received the following message, which represents a cryptographic data object:
{(
{(KPbB)KPrS mod KPbS}K1,
{|(NB, NA, {{({K2}KPbB, NS)}(G1)KPrA mod NA}K1, {|{({G3}(KPbA)KPrS mod KPbS, G2)}K1|}KPrB)|}KPrA
)}KBS
The following explains various terms in this object and some of the abbreviations used:
• {M}K represents the encryption of some message/data M using the key K
• {|M|}K represents the digital signing of some message/data M using the key K
• NX represents a nonce (i.e. a fresh and possibly random number used once only) generated by X
• KpbX represents the public part of the key pair presumably owned by X
• KprX represents the private part of the key pair presumably owned by X
• KAB represents a symmetric key shared between A and B
• K (or K1, K2, K3 etc.) represents some arbitrary key with no assumptions about its scope
• M represents some alphanumeric/textual message with no assumptions
• G1, G2, G3 etc. are prime numbers
which of the following sets of keys, nonces, numbers, and alphanumeric/textual messages “best” represents B’s knowledge, after B applies any number of possible cryptographic operations to the object above, and assuming that B already has access to key K1 and the public key of any agent:
a) KBS , G2 , KPrB
b) {(KPbB)KPrS mod KPbS , G2 , KBS , KPrB , {(KPbB)KPrS mod KPbS}K1, NA , NB
c) NA , NB
d) NA , NB , KBS , KPrB
