Question

Choose one word from the following list:

big
NOV
HOP
him
Step 2. Convert to ASCII Values
Convert each character of your selected word into its corresponding ASCII value in decimal. Refer to the ASCII tableLinks to an external site..

Step 3. RSA Encryption
Visit the RSA Step-by-Step tool Links to an external site.Familiarize yourself with the RSA encryption procedure. Keep all parameters at their default settings. If necessary, refresh the web page to ensure the parameters are reset to default values.

Step 4. Encrypt
ASCII Values Navigate to Step 3: Encrypt on the web page. Enter the ASCII values (denoted as 'm') one by one into the tool. Record the resultant encrypted value ('c') for each ASCII value.

Step 5. Record the Three-Character Cipher Text
The resulting three-character cipher text is ____________.

Answer 1

Let's go through the steps with the selected word "NOV".

Step 1: Select a Case-Sensitive Word

Selected word: NOV

Step 2: Convert to ASCII Values

Convert each character of "NOV" into its corresponding ASCII value:

• N = 78
• O = 79
• V = 86

So, the ASCII values are: 78, 79, 86

Step 3: RSA Encryption

To encrypt, generally, RSA encryption uses the parameters:

• \( n \) (the modulus)
• \( e \) (the public exponent)

For this example, we would refer to the RSA tool, which usually has default parameters to work with. However, as I cannot interact with external web pages, I will describe the process you would undertake.

Step 4: Encrypt

You would enter each ASCII value (78, 79, 86) into the RSA encryption tool separately. For demonstration, I will show the mathematical process but you will need to enter them yourself into the web tool.

For each ASCII value, you would receive a corresponding encrypted value \( c \).

Assuming the encryption results in:

• \( c_1 \) for ASCII 78
• \( c_2 \) for ASCII 79
• \( c_3 \) for ASCII 86

Step 5: Record the Three-Character Cipher Text

Your final three-character cipher text would be a concatenation of the encrypted values \( c_1, c_2, c_3 \).

In practice, you would look up the encrypted values and replace \( c_1, c_2, c_3 \) with the actual results you obtained from the RSA tool.

So, the resulting three-character cipher text is ____________.

(Since I cannot execute real-time encryption, please complete this step with the actual outputs you get from the RSA tool).
