Get started for freeConsider the problem of computing .
(a) If is an role="math" localid="1658397956489" -bit number, how many bits long is , approximately ( form)?
(b) Give an algorithm to compute and analyze its running time.
Calculate using any method you choose. (Hint: 127 is prime.)
Digital signatures, continued.Consider the signature scheme of Exercise .
(a) Signing involves decryption, and is therefore risky. Show that if Bob agrees to sign anything he is asked to, Eve can take advantage of this and decrypt any message sent by Alice to Bob.
(b) Suppose that Bob is more careful, and refuses to sign messages if their signatures look suspiciously like text. (We assume that a randomly chosen messagethat is, a random number in the range is very unlikely to look like text.) Describe a way in which Eve can nevertheless still decrypt messages from Alice to Bob, by getting Bob to sign messages whose signatures look random.
Justify the correctness of the recursive division algorithm given in page , and show that it takes time bit inputs.
A -ary tree is a rooted tree in which each node has at most children. Show that any -ary tree with nodes must have a depth of .Can you give a precise formula for the minimum depth it could possibly have?
