Get started for freeSuppose that instead of using a compositein the RSA cryptosystem (Figure 1.9), we simply use a prime modulus p . As in RSA, we would have an encryption exponent e, and the encryption of a message would be Prove that this new cryptosystem is not secure, by giving an efficient algorithm to decrypt: that is, an algorithm that given and as input, computes . Justify the correctness and analyze the running time of your decryption algorithm.
1.36. Square roots. In this problem, we'll see that it is easy to compute square roots modulo a prime pwith .
(a) Suppose . Show that is an integer.
(b) We say x is a square root of a modulo p if . Show that if and if a has a square root modulo p, then is such a square root.
Quadratic residues. Fix a positive integer N. We say that a is a quadratic residue modulo N ifthere exists a such that .
(a) Let N be an odd prime and be a non-zero quadratic residue modulo N. Show that there are exactly two values in satisfying .
(b) Show that if N is an odd prime, there are exactly quadratic residues in .
(c) Give an example of positive integers a and N such thathas more than two solutions in .
