What happens if an attacker tries to tamper with the Tag (the MAC) and the ciphertext while they are in transit when a message authentication code (MAC) is being used? Give an explanation as to why this attack can never be successful, given that the ability of the target to identify a tampered Tag/ciphertext ensures that it will succeed every time.

Cryptography

Cryptography is a term used in computer science to describe secure information and communication techniques that transform messages in difficult-to-decipher ways using mathematical concepts and a set of rule-based calculations known as algorithms.
