Question

Transcribed Image Text:This question concerns block cipher modes. We will use a simple affine cipher, which can be expressed in C
as follows.
char cipher(unsigned char block, char key)
{
return (key+11*block)%256;
}
Note that the block size is 8 bits, which is one byte (and one ASCII character). We will work with the fixed key 0x08.
We now encrypt various plaintexts using modes for this cipher. In every case in which the mode requires an IV, the IV
will be OXAA. In the case of CTR mode, we use a (nonce || counter) arrangement in which the nonce is the left 5 bits of
OXAA and the counter is a 3 bit counter that begins at 0. In all of the problems given below, one character is one block.
Each character of the plaintext should be regarded as its corresponding ASCII code.
a) Encrypt the plaintext "spider" using CTR mode. Please enter your answer in hex. (Please do **not** enter an 0x,
as this has been done.)
Ox
b) Encrypt the plaintext "spelling" using ECB mode. Please enter your answer in hex.
Ox
c) Encrypt the plaintext "mealy" using CFB mode. Please enter your answer in hex.
Ox
d) Encrypt the plaintext "mottos" using CBC mode. Please enter your answer in hex.
Ox
e) Encrypt the plaintext "downward" using OFB mode. Please enter your answer in hex.
