Transcribed Image Text:### Cryptography Exercise
1. **Affine Cipher Decryption Task**
- An intercepted encrypted message reveals through frequency analysis that 'R' is the most common letter and 'X' is the least in the ciphertext.
- **Ciphertext**: SMRER TL CJ LQJJC
- Task: Use the frequency analysis information and the affine cipher method to decrypt the message.
2. **Vigenère Cipher Decryption Task**
- **Ciphertext**: MS. RZ MS QWC. KKMAI LA WS WZH.
- **Keyword**: JEDI
- Task: Determine the plaintext message using the Vigenère cipher and the given keyword.
3. **RSA Decryption Task**
- **Ciphertext**: 1259 0854 1647 1139
- **Public Key**: (2021,97)
- Task: Decrypt the message using the RSA algorithm and the provided public key.
4. **ElGamal Encryption Task**
- Using the ElGamal cryptosystem, create and encrypt a message that is at least eight alphabetic characters long.
- **Block Requirement**: Convert the plaintext into two-digit blocks.
- **Public Key**: (89,14,8)
- Task: Use a unique ephemeral key (j) to encrypt each block.
5. **Vernam Cipher and Baudot Code Task**
- **Ciphertext Lines**:
- 01011 11010 00110 10110 00101 01100 10101 10011 01111 10011
- 00001 01101 10110 00001 11000 01000 00000 01101 10101 10011
- Task: Determine the plaintext message using the first line of Chapter 2 in the textbook as the key.
6. **Additional Task**
- **Ciphertext Specified**: Implicit from the context, potentially one of the above tasks requires further deciphering.
