# Verifying a Signature

In this scenario, Bob receives a message M = "Launch a missile." from Alice, along with her signature S. Bob needs to verify whether the signature is indeed from Alice using her public key (e, n).

### Given Data
- **Message (M):** Launch a missile.
- **Signature (S):** 
  ```
  643D6F34902D9C7EC90CB0B2BCA36C47FA37165C0005CAB026C0542CBDD6802F
  ```
- **Public Key:**
  - **e:** 010001 (hexadecimal, equivalent to 65537 in decimal)
  - **n:** 
    ```
    AE1CD4DC432798D933779FBD46C6E1247F0CF1233595113AA51B450F18116115
    ```

### Verification Task
Bob should verify if the signature corresponds to Alice's public key.

### Corrupted Signature Scenario
Suppose the signature is corrupted such that the last byte changes from `2F` to `3F`, introducing a single bit of change. Bob needs to repeat the verification process with this corrupted signature and describe its impact on the verification process.

### Explanation
To verify the original and corrupted signatures, Bob will:
1. **Decrypt the signature** using Alice’s public key (e, n).
2. **Compare the decrypted value** with the hash of the message M.
3. The Single bit change from `2F` to `3F` will likely result in a different decrypted value, causing the verification to fail.

This exercise demonstrates the sensitivity of digital signatures to even minimal corruption, highlighting their importance in ensuring message integrity and authenticity.
