Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Using Karnaugh maps and Gray coding, reduce the following circuit represented as a table and write the final circuit in simplest form (first in terms of number of gates then in terms of fan-in of those gates). HINT: Pay closeattention to both the 1’s and the 0’s of the function.

Recall the RSA encryption/decryption system. The following questions are based on RSA. Suppose n (=15) is the product of the two prime numbers 3 and 5.1. Find an encryption key e for for the pair (e, n)2. Find a decryption key d for for the pair (d, n)3. Given the plaintext message x = 3, find the ciphertext y = x^(e) (where x^e is the message x encoded with encryption key e)4. Given the ciphertext message y (which you found in previous part), Show that the original message x = 3 can be recovered using (d, n)
