Question

q8- Alice and Bob are using the Diffie Hellman algorithm to agree on a shared secret. They exchange the values for the base (g) and modulus (p), select their own secret values (Alice chooses ‘a’ and Bob chooses ‘b’) and then proceed to use the algorithm to agree on a secret value.

Assuming the following values: 

  • g = 7
  • p = 13
  • A = 1 (Alice’s intermediate value)
  • b = 3 (Bob’s secret value)

Answer the following questions:

 

  1. What is the intermediate value (B) that Bob calculates and sends to Alice?
  2. What secret value has Alice chosen?
  3. What is the secret value (s) that was agreed?
