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;
The inverse of this cipher is shown below.
char inv_cipher(unsigned char block, char key)
{ // 163 is the inverse of 11 mod 256
return (163* (block-key+256))%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 decrypt various ciphertexts 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.
The ciphertext is given in hexadecimal.
a) Decrypt the ciphertext "27243905" using CTR
mode. Please enter your answer in ASCII characters (aka
words).
b) Decrypt the ciphertext "495FEE5F33AC" using
ECB mode. Please enter your answer in ASCII
characters (aka words).
