Question
Ahmed and one of his close friend, Ali, used to send e-mail using public and private key encryption. He can send e-mail to Ali using the following two methods:
He encrypts an e-mail with Ali’s public key and decrypts it with his own private key.
He encrypts an e-mail with his own private key and Ali decrypts it with his public key.
In fact, anyone can have Ahmed’s public key and hence can read the e-mail sent out by Him through second method. Why he might still want to use second method

- Should a nonce be encrypted? O Yes, it prevents the message from being hacked. No, otherwise Bob (the receiver) couldn't read the nonce. O No, and you should never use a nonce in the first place. O Yes, otherwise Oscar (the enemy) would be able to intercept it.arrow_forwardIs it possible for software running on a desktop computer to produce secret keys that are both safe and secret, and which can then be used in cryptographic protocols?arrow_forward
