Greedy Algorithms and Dynamic Programming Knapsack Problems and Investment Decisions 1. (a) The Greedy Algorithm selects in turn items A, D, C with weight 26 and total value 66. (b) It is possible to do better. For example, items A, B, D, F have weight 27 and give the larger value 67. 2. (a) The Greedy Algorithm selects in turn items A, B, E with weight 25 and total value 46. (b) It is possible to do better. For example, items A, C, D have weight 25 and give the larger value 47. 3. (a) The Greedy Algorithm selects in turn investment options E and C, using $50,000 and giving a total return of $8300. (b) The table of all selections using $50,000 is shown below: A($10,000) 

B($10,000)

D($20,000)   





E($30,000)

  

Total Return $8400 $7600 $8300 $8200 $8500

(c) Selecting investments A, B, E gives the maximum return $8500. 4. (a) The Greedy Algorithm selects in turn projects E and D, requiring an investment of $35,000 and producing a total benefit of $55,000. (b) The table of all selections using $35,000 is shown next: 19

E($20,000)  

 



Total Benefit $58,000 $60,000 $57,000 $55,000

The optimal selection is A, C, E which gives the maximum benefit of $60,000. 5. (a) The Greedy Algorithm selects selects in turn improvements A, B, E, with a cost of $24,500 and a total benefit of $34,000. (b) Notice that two improvements yield a benefit of at most $29,000 and that any four improvements exceed the $25,000 budget. So, we only need to consider options using three improvements, listed in the table below: A($12,000)   

B($9000) 

C($7600)

D($6800)

   

  

   

E($3500)      

Total Benefit $34,000 $32,500 $31,000 $34,500 $29,500 $28,000 $26,500

The optimal choice is to select improvements B, C, D yielding a total benefit of $34,500. 6. (a) The horizontal edge from (A, 5) to (B, 5) means we do not choose investment A; the diagonal edge from (B, 5) to (C, 3) means we select investment B; the diagonal edge from (C, 3) to (D, 0) means we select investment C. This entirely uses up the given $50,000 budget, so investments D and E are not selected. The value of this path is $0 + $3400 + $5400 + $0 + $0 = $8800. (b) The selection of A, C, D corresponds to the path (A, 5) → (B, 4) → (C, 4) → (D, 1) → (E, 0) → (F, 0). This path has value $2300 + $0 + $5400 + $900 + $0 = $8600. 7. Moving horizontally from (C, 4) means we do not choose investment C and we have $40,000 left to invest in (possibly) D and E. But D and E together only use up $10,000 + $20,000 = $30,000. So there is no way to fully invest the $50,000. Greedy Algorithms and Change-Making Problems 8. Using only two coins, it is not possible to make change for 22 cents: with two coins, we can only make change for 32, 25, 21, 18, 17, 14, 10, 6, and 2 cents. 20

K25544_SM_Cover.indd 24

11/17/14 7:45 PM

So at least three coins are needed. Since the greedy solution 22 = 16 + 5 + 1 uses just three coins, it is optimal. 9. If we do not use the 16-cent coin, then the largest amount of change that can be made with three coins is 9 + 9 + 9 = 27. Thus, we need to use at least one 16-cent coin. However, this leaves 42 − 16 = 26 cents. It is not possible to make change for 26 cents using only two coins as we can only make change for 32, 25, 21, 18, 17, 14, 10, 6, and 2 cents. This means that we must use at least three coins to make change for 26 cents, and hence at least four coins to make change for 42 cents. Since the Greedy Algorithm uses four coins, it must be optimal. 10. (a) The greedy solution selects one 25-cent coin, one 5-cent coin, and one 1-cent coin: 31 = 25 + 5 + 1. (b) No, there is no solution using only two coins. 11. (a) The greedy solution selects one 25-cent coin, one 5-cent coin, and two 1-cent coins: 32 = 25 + 5 + 1 + 1. (b) Yes, the solution 32 = 12 + 10 + 10 uses just three coins: one 12-cent coin and two 10-cent coins. 12. (a) The greedy solution selects one 25-cent coin, one 5-cent coin, and four 1-cent coins: 34 = 25 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. (b) Yes, the solution 34 = 12 + 12 + 10 uses just three coins: two 12-cent coins and one 10-cent coin. 13. (a) The greedy solution selects two 25-cent coins, one 12-cent coin, and one 5-cent coin: 67 = 25 + 25 + 12 + 5. (b) No, there is no solution using only three coins. 14. (a) The greedy solution selects two 12-cent coins, one 4-cent coin, and three 1-cent coins: 31 = 12 + 12 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1. (b) Yes, the solution 31 = 10 + 10 + 10 + 1 uses just four coins: three 10-cent coins and one 1-cent coin. 15. (a) The greedy solution selects two 17-cent coins, one 7-cent coin, and one 1-cent coin: 42 = 17 + 17 + 7 + 1 (b) The greedy solution 42 = 17 + 17 + 7 + 1 is optimal, and also the solution 42 = 17 + 12 + 12 + 1 is optimal.

(n = 8) Taking 1, 2, 3 flags leaves us in states 7 (W ), 6 (W ), 5 (W ) all winning; so 8 is a losing state. (n = 9) Taking 1, 2, 3 flags leaves us in states 8 (L), 7 (W ), 6 (W ); since 8 is a losing state, 9 is a winning state (by selecting 1 flag). (n = 10) Taking 1, 2, 3 flags leaves us in states 9 (W ), 8 (L), 7 (W ); since 8 is a losing state, 10 is a winning state (by selecting 2 flags). (n = 11) Taking 1, 2, 3 flags leaves us in states 10 (W ), 9 (W ), 8 (L); since 8 is a losing state, 11 is a winning state (by selecting 3 flags). (n = 12) Taking 1, 2, 3 flags leaves us in states 11 (W ), 10 (W ), 9 (W ) all winning; so 12 is a losing state. 17. (a) The completed table is given below: 1 W

(a) It is not possible to make change for 29 cents with just two coins, using denominations 12, 10, 5, or 1. With these denominations the largest amount of change that can be made with two coins is 12 + 12 = 24 cents. (b) It is not possible to make change for 31 cents with just three coins, using denominations 10, 5 or 1. With these denominations the largest amount of change that can be made with three coins is 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 cents. 24. (a) The greedy solution selects two 15-cent coins and four 1-cent coins, for a total of six coins. (b) The initial vertex (34, 15) is assigned the optimal value 3, obtained from subproblem (22, 12) by using a 12-cent coin. Since subproblem (22, 12) is optimally solved as 22 = 12 + 10, the original problem only needs three coins: 34 = 12 + 12 + 10. 19,15 15 12

Since subproblem (6, 5) is optimally solved as 6 = 5 + 1, the original problem only needs three coins: 16 = 10 + 5 + 1. 4,1 12 10

26. Note that a third stage is needed for subproblem (20, 12), where the greedy solution is not optimal. The initial vertex (32, 25) is assigned the optimal value 3, so only three coins are needed. The indicated path corresponds to the optimal solution 32 = 12 + 10 + 10. 4

We process the vertices in the order i = 1, 2, . . . , 9; at each step, the label on vertex i is added to each edge (i, j) leaving that vertex, possibly providing a new larger label for vertex j. This produces the routing edges shown next, together with the optimal vertex labels. Vertex 9 has the optimal value 620, corresponding to the maximum profit obtained from the longest path 1 → 2 → 5 → 7 → 9. This means selecting bids 3, 5, and 7.

The shortest path from 9 to 5 is given by 9 → 11 → 10 → 12 → 3 → 5 with cost 53. This corresponds to selecting shifts [9, 11], [10, 12], [12, 3], and [3, 5] for an overall cost of 53 hours. This indicates hiring applicants 2, 3, 4, and 8. Notice that the shifts [9, 11] and [10, 12] overlap for one hour in this optimal solution.

Traveling Salesmen and Optimal Orderings Hamiltonian Circuits 1. (a) No. Since vertices B, C, and E have degree two, any Hamiltonian circuit must use the edges AB, BG, CG, CD, DE, and EF . These edges form a path between A and F that visits all the vertices; however, there is no edge in the graph joining A and F . (b) Yes, for example ABGCHDF EA. (c) No. Since vertices A, C, and E have degree two, any Hamiltonian circuit must use the edges AB, AF , BC, CD, DE, and EF . However, then there is no way to include G in the tour without repeating a vertex. 2. (a) Yes, for example ABEDCGF A. (b) No. Since A, D, and G have degree two, any Hamiltonian circuit must use the edges AB, AE, CD, DE, CG, and F G. These edges form a path between B and F that visits all the vertices; however, there is no edge in the graph joining B and F . (c) No. Since A, C, and D have degree two, any Hamiltonian circuit must use the edges AB, AE, BC, CG, BD, DF . However, vertex B is then forced to use three incident edges, and this is not possible in a circuit. 3. The Hamiltonian circuit ABHGF ON M LKRST P QIJCDEA is displayed in the following diagram:

As vertex 5 is isolated there can be no Hamiltonian path, and hence no such open Knight’s tour. However, there is a Knight’s tour that visits all squares except the center square 5: 1 → 6 → 7 → 2 → 9 → 4 → 3 → 8 → 1. 24.

Then there are 12 paths: ABCD, ABDC, ACBD, ACDB, ADBC, ADCB, BACD, BADC, BCAD, BDAC, CABD, CBAD. (c) The number of paths in (a) is 3!2 = 62 = 3; the number of paths in (b) is 4! 24 n! 2 = 2 = 12. In general, the number of paths of length n − 1 is 2 . 27. (a) The transformed graph H is shown below: 0

(c) Starting from vertex B in H, the Nearest Neighbor tour is BADCsB of weight −30, giving path BADC of weight 30 in G. Starting from vertex C in H, the Nearest Neighbor tour is CADBsC of weight −32, giving path CADB of weight 32 in G. Starting from vertex D in H, the Nearest Neighbor tour is DACBsD of weight −30, giving path DACB of weight 30 in G. (d) The best solution found occurs when starting from vertex C: the Hamiltonian path CADB of weight 32. (e) The twelve Hamiltonian paths and their weights are ABCD (25), ABDC (27), ACBD (27), ACDB (28), ADBC (28), ADCB (27), BACD (29), BADC (30), BCAD (30), BDAC (32), CABD (30), CBAD (29). So, a largest weight path is BDAC with the maximum weight 32. This happens to be the same solution found by the NNA, starting at vertex C.

This means that the graph cannot be colored with fewer than four colors, so the given coloring is optimal.

7. If the graph has n vertices and n is even, then the chromatic number is 2; we can alternately assign colors 1 and 2 around the circuit. If n is odd, then the chromatic number is 3; in this case, we can alternately assign colors 1 and 2 around the circuit until reaching the last vertex, which must then receive color 3. 8. (a) The chromatic number of the wheel graph on six vertices is 4, shown by a forcing argument. Suppose that only three colors are available. Start with A, B, F labeled 1, 2, 3, respectively; then C must be labeled 1 and D must be labeled 2; since E is then adjacent to vertices with colors 1, 2, 3, a fourth color must be needed. This means that the graph cannot be colored with fewer than four colors, so the coloring shown below with four colors is optimal. 1 A 4

(c) The above results generalize for wheel graphs on n vertices. If n is odd, then the chromatic number is 3; we can alternately assign colors 1 and 2 around the circuit and then use color 3 for the center vertex. If n is even, then the chromatic number is 4; in this case, we can alternately assign colors 1 and 2 around the circuit until reaching the last vertex of the circuit, which must receive color 3. We then assign color 4 to the center vertex. 9. Suppose that only three colors are available. Start with A, B, and F labeled 1, 2, 3, respectively; then C must be labeled 1, and D must be labeled 2; since G is then adjacent to vertices with colors 1, 2, 3, a fourth color must be needed. This means that the graph cannot be colored with fewer than four colors, so the chromatic number is 4. Greedy Coloring Algorithm 10.

We can show that there can be no coloring using just three colors by a forcing argument. Suppose that only three colors are available.

This means that the graph cannot be colored with fewer than four colors, so the given coloring is optimal. 13.

22. Vertices F , O, E are assigned the colors 1, 2, 3, respectively. This forces T to be assigned color 1, C to be assigned color 3, and I to be assigned color 2. Continuing in this fashion produces the coloring shown next, in which six vertices receive color 1 (A, B, D, F , G, T ), six vertices receive color 2 (I, J, L, O, W , Y ), and six vertices receive color 3 (C, E, P , R, S, X).

26. The bipartite graph is shown below. A maximum matching consists of the four edges (A, H), (B, G), (C, F ), and (D, E). Since the vertex cover A, B, C, D has four vertices, there can be at most four edges in any maximum matching. So, this matching is a maximum matching of the four pilots to the four copilots: A with H, B with G, C with F , and D with E. A

So, this matching is a maximum matching of size four. (c) Since a maximum matching has size four, it is not possible to assign all the five antibiotics to five different volunteers. We can however provide an assignment of four antibiotics to four different volunteers: A receives antibiotic b, B receives antibiotic c, C receives antibiotic d, and D receives antibiotic e.

Inductive and Deductive Arguments Inductive Arguments and Counterexamples 1. This is a weak inductive argument based on insufficient evidence. If you had pulled out 30 cans of Diet Pepsi, the argument would be stronger. 2. This is a weak inductive argument because there is no evidence directly supporting the contention that elephants can fly. All elephants observed have not flown. The fact that the conclusion has not been disproven does nothing at all to support the conclusion being true. 3. This is a strong inductive argument, even though it is possible that a giant asteroid could obliterate the moon. 4. This is a weak inductive argument. The winning numbers in a lottery game are randomly chosen for each game. The probability of any ticket containing the winning numbers is the same as the probability of any other ticket containing those winning numbers. Past success or failure does not have any bearing on the current odds of winning. 5. This is a strong inductive argument only if the evidence is something you care about. For example, if you become quickly overheated in the sun and prefer to walk the beach on a cloudy day, then this would be a weak inductive argument. 6. This is a strong inductive argument, since the sample is representative of the population with respect to properties that are relevant to the issue. 7. This inductive argument is strong, but more evidence is needed. Did the neighbors see anything? Are there any fingerprints in the house, other than those of the family? Could someone in the family have made it look like a burglary in order to collect insurance money? 71

Inductive Puzzles 8. Yes, the argument is strong because a fairly simple pattern fits all the data. We would predict the next two numbers to be 37 = 62 + 1 and 50 = 72 + 1. 9. (a) 4 can be written as 4, 3+1, 2+2, 2+1+1, 1+3, 1+2+1, 1+1+2, 1+1+1+1, giving 8 = 23 compositions. (b) 5 can be written as 5, 4+1, 3+2, 3+1+1, 2+3, 2+2+1, 2+1+2, 2+1+1+1, 1+4, 1+3+1, 1+2+2, 1+2+1+1, 1+1+3, 1+1+2+1, 1+1+1+2, 1+1+1+1+1, giving 16 = 24 compositions. (c) The integer n has 2n−1 compositions. 10. (a) 3 can be written as 3+0+0, 2+1+0, 2+0+1, 1+2+0, 1+1+1, 1+0+2, 0+3+0, 0+2+1, 0+1+2, 0+0+3, giving 10 = (4 × 5)/2 tripartite compositions. (b) 4 can be written as 4+0+0, 3+1+0, 3+0+1, 2+2+0, 2+1+1, 2+0+2, 1+3+0, 1+2+1, 1+1+2, 1+0+3, 0+4+0, 0+3+1, 0+2+2, 0+1+3, 0+0+4, giving 15 = (5 × 6)/2 tripartite compositions. (c) The number of tripartite compositions for n = 1, 2, 3, 4 follows the pattern 3, 6, 10, 15 where the differences between successive values are 3, 4, 5. So we predict the next value to be 15 + 6 = 21. A general formula is (n + 1)(n + 2)/2. 11. It is highly probable that the native is a knight (telling the truth) because the probability he would say the same wrong name that Abercrombie was thinking of is low. 12. A knight (a truth-teller) would not say “I am a knave and there is no gold on this island” because such a statement is true only if both of its component statements are true, meaning that this native is a knave (a liar), a contradiction. Therefore the native must be a knave, whose statements are always false. Since the first part of this compound claim “I am a knave and there is no gold on this island” is true, the second part “there is no gold on this island” must then be false. Abercrombie can validly conclude there must be gold on the island. Deductive Arguments and Venn Diagrams 13. The argument is invalid. Let A be the set of people who live in the Bayou, and let B be the set of people who are familiar with hurricanes. So A is a subset of B, as shown in the following Venn diagram. Let x represent Marisa. Notice that x needs to be placed inside B; however, x can be placed either inside set A or outside. For example, Marisa could live on the Florida coast.

14. The argument is valid. Let A be the set of people who like James Patterson fiction and let B be the set of people who like Lee Child fiction. So A is a subset of B, as shown in the Venn diagram below. Let x represent Omar. Notice that x needs to be placed inside A, and so x is necessarily inside B. That is, Omar (x) necessarily likes Lee Child fiction.

B A x

15. Let A be the set of students who receive an A on the calculus exam and let B be the set of students who pass the calculus course. Jones (x) did not receive an A, so that x needs to be placed outside the set A. However, x could be placed inside or outside of B, so the argument is invalid. A counterexample would be the situation in which Jones gets the grade of C on the exam, and yet passes the calculus course. In other words, there is a scenario in which the premises are true and the conclusion is false.

Deductive Puzzles 16. To explain the deductive logic and order of the inferences, we label the 4 blocks and the 16 cells in the 4 × 4 grid as follows: 73

K25544_SM_Cover.indd 77

11/17/14 7:45 PM

A1 A3 C1 C3

A2 A4 C2 C4

B1 B3 D1 D3

B2 B4 D2 D4

Cell A2 must contain 3, since 2 and 4 occur already in its row and 1 occurs already in its block. That means A4 must contain 2 and B2 must contain 1. Cell B3 must contain 3, since 2 and 4 occur already in its column and 1 occurs already in its block. That means B4 must contain 4. We can then assign 1 to D1 and 2 to D4, as these are the only options available. Cell C2 must contain 4, since 1 and 3 occur already in its row and 2 occurs already in its column. That means C4 must contain 1. Finally, C1 is assigned 2 and C3 is assigned 3, as these are the only options available. The completed Sudoku is shown below: 4 1 2 3

17. The clues show that the third floor is visited right after the basement. Also, the fourth floor is visited some time after the second floor, which is visited some time after the first floor, which is visited some time after the basement. The only schedule consistent with these clues is: basement, third floor, first floor, second floor, fourth floor. So, Miguel’s mail delivery schedule is 8:00 basement, 8:20 third floor, 8:40 first floor, 9:00 second floor, and 9:20 fourth floor. Fallacies 18. False dichotomy 19. Red herring. To distract from the argument, he inserts a new criterion for winning: that the answer with the most letters wins. 20. Personal attack 21. Circular reasoning 22. False dichotomy 23. Slippery slope 24. False analogy 74

Deductive Arguments and Derivations Assigning Truth-Values to Prove Invalidity 1. We start by making C false by setting p = T and r = F. Since P1 is to be true and p = T, we get q = T. Then we verify that P2 is true: F → T is true. So, we have an assignment p = T, q = T, r = F that makes all premises true, yet the conclusion is false. The argument is shown to be invalid. 2. We start by making C false by setting p = T and t = F. Since P3 is to be true, we get s = F. Then s ∧ t = F and so to make P2 true, we need r = F. Since P1 is to be true where p = T and r = F, we have q = T. So, the assignment p = T, q = T, r = F, s = F, t = F makes all premises true, yet the conclusion is false. The argument is shown to be invalid. 3. We start by making C false by setting p = F and s = F. Since P2 is to be true and s = F, we get r = F. Since P3 is to be true and r = F, we get q = T. So, the assignment p = F, q = T, r = F, s = F makes all premises true, yet the conclusion is false. The argument is shown to be invalid. Derivations and Valid Arguments 4.

Counterexamples to Conjectures 20. Let x = 1 and y = −1. Then 12 = (−1)2 yet 1 �= −1. 21. Let x = 1 and y = 1. Then (1 + 1)2 = 4 and 4xy = 4(1)(1) = 4, but 4 > 4 is false. 22. If x = 0.5, then (0.5)3 = 0.125 and (0.5)2 = 0.25, but 0.125 > 0.25 is false. 23. Let n = 6. Then n2 = 36 is evenly divisible by 4, but n = 6 is not evenly divisible by 4. 24. Let n = 6. Then (2 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 11 × 13) + 1 = 30,031 = 59 × 509, showing that (2 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 11 × 13) + 1 is not prime. Mathematical Induction 25. Initial Step: Verify the claim for the initial case (namely n = 8). When n = 8, we can make 8 cents by using one 3-cent coin and one 5-cent coin: 8 = 3(1) + 5(1). Thus, P(8) is true. Inductive Hypothesis: We assume P(n) holds for some n = k ≥ 8 (k is an integer). Inductive Step: We need to consider how to extend the truth of P(k) so that the claim continues to hold for the next larger value n = k + 1. We reason that if the change for k cents uses a 5-cent coin, we can replace it with two 3-cent 92

coins to form k + 1 cents. Otherwise, the change for k cents uses only 3-cent coins; since k ≥ 8 we must have at least three 3-cent coins. We can replace these three 3-cent coins with two 5-cent coins and thereby make change for k + 1 cents. So, in either case we can make change for k + 1 cents using only 3-cent coins and 5-cent coins, based on assuming it is possible to make change for k cents. Conclusion: P(n) holds for all n ≥ 8. 26. Initial Step: When n = 1 the tree has just one vertex, and so has no edges. Since n − 1 = 1 − 1 = 0, P(1) holds. Inductive Hypothesis: We assume that P(n) holds for n = k ≥ 1 (k is an integer). Inductive Step: We want to extend the truth of P(k) so that the claim continues to hold for the next larger value n = k + 1. Suppose that Tk+1 is a tree on k + 1 vertices. We then need to show that Tk+1 has (k + 1) − 1 = k edges. To do this, notice that Tk+1 can be obtained by adding a new vertex k + 1 to a tree Tk on k vertices and joining it to one of the existing vertices of Tk . Thus, Tk+1 has one more edge than Tk . By the inductive hypothesis Tk has k − 1 edges, so Tk+1 must have (k − 1) + 1 = k edges. This establishes the truth of P(k + 1). Conclusion: P(n) holds for all n ≥ 1. 27. Initial Step: When n = 6 the inequality states that 62 − 5(6) − 1 = 5 > 0, which is true. So, P(6) holds. Inductive Hypothesis: We assume that P(n) holds for n = k ≥ 6 (k is an integer). That is, k2 − 5k − 1 > 0. Inductive Step: We want to verify that the inequality holds for n = k + 1. To do so, we express A = (k + 1)2 − 5(k + 1) − 1 = k 2 + 2k + 1 − 5k − 5 − 1 = (k2 − 5k − 1) + (2k − 4). By the inductive hypothesis, k 2 − 5k − 1 > 0. Since k ≥ 6, we also have 2k − 4 ≥ 2(6) − 4 = 8 > 0. Then A is the sum of two positive integers, giving A > 0. This establishes that P(k + 1) holds. Conclusion: P(n) holds for all n ≥ 6. By the way, when n = 5 the inequality fails since 52 − 5(5) − 1 = −1 < 0. 28. Initial Step: When n = 1 the formula gives a1 = 1 + 1 = 2, which is correct. So, the formula an = n + 1 holds for n = 1. Inductive Hypothesis: We assume that the formula holds for n = k ≥ 1 (k is an integer). That is, ak = k + 1. Inductive Step: We need to show that the formula holds for n = k + 1 ≥ 2. To do so, we apply the definition, using the fact that ak = k +1: ak+1 = 2ak −k = 2(k + 1) − k = 2k + 2 − k = k + 2 = (k + 1) + 1. This verifies that the formula holds for n = k + 1. Conclusion: The formula holds for all n ≥ 1. 93

29. Initial Step: When n = 1 the formula gives b1 = (1 − 1)2 + 3 = 3, which is correct. So, the formula bn = (n − 1)2 + 3 holds for n = 1. Inductive Hypothesis: We assume that the formula holds for n = k ≥ 1 (k is an integer). That is, bk = (k − 1)2 + 3. Inductive Step: We need to show that the formula holds for n = k + 1 ≥ 2. To do so, we apply the definition, using the fact that bk = (k − 1)2 + 3: bk+1 = bk + 2k − 1 = (k − 1)2 + 3 + 2k − 1 = k 2 − 2k + 1 + 3 + 2k − 1 = k 2 + 3 = ((k + 1) − 1)2 + 3. This verifies that the formula holds for n = k + 1. Conclusion: The formula holds for all n ≥ 1. 30. Initial Step: When n = 1 the tree has one level and so consists of a single vertex. For n = 1 the formula gives 21 − 1 = 1 vertex, which is correct. So, the formula 2n − 1 holds for n = 1. Inductive Hypothesis: We assume that the formula holds for n = k ≥ 1 (k is an integer). That is, any full, complete binary tree on k levels has 2k − 1 vertices. Inductive Step: We need to show that the formula holds for n = k + 1 ≥ 2 levels. In this case, the root (top) vertex is connected to two full, complete binary trees, each having k levels. By the inductive hypothesis, each of these trees contains 2k − 1 vertices. Altogether, we have 2(2k − 1) vertices plus the root vertex for a total of 2(2k − 1) + 1 = (2k+1 − 2) + 1 = 2k+1 − 1 vertices. This verifies that the formula holds for n = k + 1. Conclusion: The formula holds for all n ≥ 1. Strong Induction 31. Initial Step: We establish the claim for two base cases: n = 4 and n = 5. Namely, 4 = 2(2) + 5(0) and 5 = 2(0) + 5(1). So, P(4) and P(5) hold. Inductive Hypothesis: We assume that P(4), P(5), . . . , P(k) all hold for some k ≥ 5, and then want to establish that P(k + 1) holds. Inductive Step: We need to consider how to extend the truth of P(4), P(5), . . . , P(k) so that the claim continues to hold for the next larger value n = k +1. To make change for k + 1 cents we first use a 2-cent coin, leaving k + 1 − 2 = k − 1 cents. However, by the inductive hypothesis and the fact that k ≥ 5, we can make change for this smaller remaining amount since k − 1 ≥ 4. Together with the first 2-cent coin, we now have made change for the given k + 1 cents. So, P(k + 1) is true. Conclusion: P(n) holds for all n ≥ 4. 32. Initial Step: We establish the claim for four base cases: n = 12, n = 13, n = 14, n = 15. Namely, 12 = 4(3) + 5(0); 13 = 4(2) + 5(1); 14 = 4(1) + 5(2); 15 = 4(0) + 5(3). So, P(12), P(13), P(14), and P(15) hold. 94

K25544_SM_Cover.indd 98

11/17/14 7:45 PM

Inductive Hypothesis: We assume that P(12), P(13), . . . , P(k) all hold for some k ≥ 15, and then want to establish that P(k + 1) holds. Inductive Step: We need to consider how to extend the truth of P(12), P(13), . . . , P(k) so that the claim continues to hold for the next larger value n = k+1. To make change for k+1 cents we first use a 4-cent coin, leaving k+1−4 = k−3 cents. However, by the inductive hypothesis and the fact that k ≥ 15, we can make change for this smaller remaining amount since k − 3 ≥ 12. Together with the first 4-cent coin, we have now made change for the given k + 1 cents. So, P(k + 1) is true. Conclusion: P(n) holds for n ≥ 12. 33. Initial Step: We establish the claim for three base cases: n = 8, n = 9, n = 10. Namely, 8 = 3(0)+8(1)+10(0); 9 = 3(3)+8(0)+10(0); 10 = 3(0)+8(0)+10(1). So, P(8), P(9), P(10) hold. Inductive Hypothesis: We assume that P(8), P(9), . . . , P(k) all hold for some k ≥ 10, and then want to establish that P(k + 1) holds. Inductive Step: We need to consider how to extend the truth of P(8), P(9), . . . , P(k) so that the claim continues to hold for the next larger value n = k +1. To make change for k + 1 cents we first use a 3-cent coin, leaving k + 1 − 3 = k − 2 cents. However, by the inductive hypothesis and the fact that k ≥ 10, we can make change for this smaller remaining amount since k − 2 ≥ 8. Together with the first 3-cent coin, we now have made change for the given k + 1 cents. So, P(k + 1) is true. Conclusion: P(n) holds for all n ≥ 8. 34. Initial Step: We establish the claim for the base case n = 1. Namely, 1 = 20 . So, P(1) holds. Inductive Hypothesis: We assume that P(1), P(2), . . . , P(k) all hold for some k ≥ 1, and then want to establish that P(k + 1) holds. Inductive Step: We need to consider how to extend the truth of P(1), P(2), . . . , P(k) so that the claim continues to hold for the next larger value n = k + 1. Consider the two cases. (1) Suppose that k + 1 is even. Then k + 1 = 2t, for some integer t ≤ k. By the inductive hypothesis, t can be expressed as a sum of distinct powers of two: t = 2a + 2b + · · · + 2x . Then k + 1 = 2t = 2(2a + 2b + · · · + 2x ) = 2a+1 + 2b+1 + · · · + 2x+1 , a sum of distinct powers of two. (2) Suppose that k + 1 is odd. Then k is even so that k = 2t, for some integer t ≤ k. By the inductive hypothesis, t can be expressed as a sum of distinct powers of two: t = 2a + 2b + · · · + 2x . Then k + 1 = 2t + 1 = 2(2a + 2b + · · · + 2x ) + 20 = 20 + 2a+1 + 2b+1 + · · · + 2x+1 , a sum of distinct powers of two. So, in either case, we see that P(k + 1) holds. Conclusion: P(n) holds for all n ≥ 1.

Games and Nash Equilibria 11. SP places FP in state 21; FP should remove one bead from the pile with two beads, placing SP in (losing) state 11; SP then removes one bead, leaving state 1; FP then removes the last bead and wins. 12. Consider Figure 11.2, where the initial state is now considered to be 211. Since state 211 is labeled W , it is a winning state for FP, who can place SP in the losing state 11 by taking both beads from the pile with two beads. Then SP must take one bead from a pile with one bead, leaving state 1; now FP wins by taking the single remaining bead. 13.(a,b) The directed graph and its labeling are given below: W 2111

The conclusion is invalid. 23. Let H = contracted Hepatitis B and T = received a blood transfusion. The study found that Pr[T |H] = 0.10 but the concern as a receiver of a transfusion is Pr[H|T ]. By the Ratio Rule, Pr[H|T ] Pr[H] small = = = small, Pr[T |H] Pr[T ] large so Pr[H|T ] is likely much less than 0.10.

Fairness Criteria and Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem Elections with Two Candidates 1. (a) A gets 9 first-place votes, B only gets 7; so A is the winner. Also, A has the majority of first-place votes. (b) Suppose A gets extra support (from some of the 7 voters ranking A second). Then A gets more than 9 first-place votes and still wins. (c) If the loser B drops out, then A gets 15 first-place votes and wins. (d) So long as A has more first-place votes than B, the above reasoning still holds. Violating the Fairness Criteria 2. (a) A: 8, B: 12, C: 9 A is eliminated; B: 12, C: 17 ⇒ C wins. (b) A: 8, B: 7, C: 14 B is eliminated; A: 15, C: 14 ⇒ A wins. (c) The original winner C gains additional support (and no other preferences change), yet now loses. 3. (a) A: 12, B: 13, C: 7, D: 4 (majority is 19) D is eliminated; A: 12, B: 13, C: 11 C is eliminated; A: 19, B: 17 ⇒ A wins.

(c) A beats all other candidates in one-on-one matchups, but the Borda Count winner is C. Satisfying the Fairness Criteria 16. If A has the majority of first-place votes, then A also has a plurality of firstplace votes and so will win using the Plurality method. 17. If A has the majority of first-place votes, then A wins immediately without any run-off needed. 18. If A has the majority of first-place votes, then A beats any other candidate in a one-to-one contest and so will be the Pairwise Comparison winner. 19. If everyone prefers A to B, then A appears higher on each voter’s profile. So A will have more first-place votes than B (if B has any first-place votes at all). So B cannot win by the Plurality method. 20. Suppose A wins all one-on-one contests. No matter where A is in the agenda order, A will win all succeeding contests and be declared the winner. So the Condorcet criterion is satisfied. 21. Suppose A wins all one-on-one contests with the n − 1 other candidates. Then A gets n − 1 points and no other candidate can get more than n − 2 points. So A is declared the Pairwise Comparison winner and the Condorcet criterion holds.

A wins 4, B wins 1, C wins 2, D wins 2, and E wins 1 ⇒ A is still the Pairwise Comparison winner. A’s points increase while the other candidates’ points either decrease or stay the same. (c) More generally, by moving A’s ranking in some column, A’s points cannot decrease and the points of the other candidates cannot increase. So A remains the Pairwise Comparison winner. 23. (a) A: (8 × 3) + (9 × 2) = 42 B: (6 × 3) + (8 × 2) + (5 × 1) = 39 C: (5 × 3) + (10 × 1) = 25 D: (2 × 2) + (4 × 1) = 8 ⇒ A is the Borda Count winner (b) A: (8 × 3) + (11 × 2) = 46 (increased) B: (6 × 3) + (8 × 2) + (5 × 1) = 39 (remained the same) C: (5 × 3) + (8 × 1) = 23 (decreased) D: (6 × 1) = 6 (decreased) ⇒ A is still the Borda Count winner. (c) More generally, A’s count increases and the counts for the other candidates stay the same or decrease. So A remains the winner by the Borda Count method. Strategic Voting 24. (a) A: 3, B: 4, C: 2 C is eliminated; A: 5, B: 4 ⇒ A is the Plurality Run-Off winner. (b) A: 3, B: 1, C: 5 B is eliminated; A: 4, C: 5 ⇒ C is now the Plurality Run-Off winner.

Weighted Voting Systems and Voting Power Weighted Voting Systems 1. Assign D (weight 4) and F (weight 1). q = 10 ensures that w({D, D, F, F}) ≥ q. Also, w({D, F, F, F, F}) = 8 < q and w({D, D, F}) = 9 < q, not enough votes. 2. Let P denote the president and O another officer. (a) Assign P (weight 2) and O (weight 1). q = 4 ensures that w({P, O, O}) ≥ q. Also, w({P, O}) = 3 < q and w({O, O, O}) = 3 < q, not enough votes. (b) Assign P (weight 4) and O (weight 1). q = 4 ensures that w({P}) ≥ q. Also, w({O, O, O}) = 3 < q, not enough votes. 3. (a) All five permanent members P (weight 6), all 10 regular R (weight 1). The coalition {5 P, 4 R} is able to pass a measure, and it has weight w({5 P, 4 R}) = (5 × 6) + (4 × 1) = 34. However, w({4 P, 10 R}) = (4 × 6) + (10 × 1) = 34, and so the coalition {4 P, 10 R} can also pass a measure, contrary to the rules. (b) All five permanent members P (weight 7), all 10 regular R (weight 1). Let q = 39. The coalition {5 P, 4 R} is able to pass a measure since it has weight w({5 P, 4 R}) = (5 × 7) + (4 × 1) = 39 ≥ q. Notice that the coalition {4 P, 10 R} has weight w({4 P, 10 R}) = (4 × 7) + (10 × 1) = 38 < q, and so is a losing coalition.

4. Assign C (weight 2) and M (weight 1). Then q = 5 ensures that w({C, 3 M}) = 2 + 3 = 5 ≥ q and that w({5 M}) = 5 ≥ q. 5. Assign F (weight 5) and S (weight 1). Setting q = 17 will ensure that w({3 F, 2 S}) = (3 × 5) + (2 × 1) = 17 ≥ q. We can also see that the coalition {2 F, 6 S} has weight w({2 F, 6 S}) = (2 × 5) + (6 × 1) = 16 < q, and so is a losing coalition. 6.

6. (6 + 250) (mod 12) = 256 (mod 12) = 4 or May. Since 256 divided by 12 is 21 with the remainder 4, we add 21 years to 2012 which gives us the year 2033. So, the bond matures in May 2033. 7. It will take five rounds. Since K corresponds to position 1 and L corresponds to position 2, we are solving the linear congruence 1 + 3x ≡ 2 (mod 7), which has the solution x ≡ 5 (mod 7). Linear Congruences 8. True, since 10 and 25 both have the remainder of 0 when divided by 5. 9. True, since 6 and 26 both have the remainder of 6 when divided by 10. 10. False, since 14 (mod 6) = 2 and 21 (mod 6) = 3. Equivalently, 14 − 21 = −7 is not a multiple of 6. 11. True, since −10 (mod 3) = 2 and 14 (mod 3) = 2. Equivalently, −10 − 14 = −24 is a multiple of 3. 12. False, since 11 (mod 6) = 5 and −5 (mod 6) = 1. Equivalently, 11−(−5) = 16 is not a multiple of 6. Modular Inverses and Linear Congruences 13. x = 4 because 4 × 7 (mod 9) = 28 (mod 9) = 1. 14. x = 7 because 7 × 8 (mod 11) = 56 (mod 11) = 1. 15. x = 15 because 15 × 8 (mod 17) = 120 (mod 17) = 1. 16. We use the fact that 5 is the inverse of 3, modulo 7. 1. 3x ≡ 2 (mod 7)

Given

2. 5(3x) ≡ 5(2) (mod 7)

1, Multiplying both sides by 5

3. 15x ≡ 10 (mod 7)

2, Simplification

4. 1x ≡ 3 (mod 7)

3, Since 15 ≡ 1 (mod 7), 10 ≡ 3 (mod 7)

5. x ≡ 3 (mod 7)

4, Simplification

17. We use the fact that 9 is the inverse of 9, modulo 10. 1. 9x ≡ 2 (mod 10)

Given

2. 9(9x) ≡ 9(2) (mod 10) 1, Multiplying both sides by 9 3. 81x ≡ 18 (mod 10)

2, Simplification

4. 1x ≡ 8 (mod 10)

3, Since 81 ≡ 1 (mod 10), 18 ≡ 8 (mod 10)

5. x ≡ 8 (mod 10)

4, Simplification 190

18. Let x denote the number of 4-cent stamps used and let y be the number of 7-cent stamps used. We are then led to solving the equation 4x + 7y = 47. In order to make this easier to solve, let’s instead solve the congruence 4x + 7y ≡ 47 (mod 4). (a) We can simplify 4x + 7y ≡ 47 (mod 4) as follows. Since 4 (mod 4) = 0, 7 (mod 4) = 3, and 47 (mod 4) = 3, we obtain 0 + 3y ≡ 3 (mod 4) or 3y ≡ 3 (mod 4). To solve for y, we use the fact that 3 is the modular inverse of 3, modulo 4. 1. 3y ≡ 3 (mod 4)

Given

2. 3(3y) ≡ 3(3) (mod 4)

1, Multiplying both sides by 3

3. 9y ≡ 9 (mod 4)

2, Simplification

4. 1y ≡ 1 (mod 4)

3, Since 9 ≡ 1 (mod 4)

5. y ≡ 1 (mod 4)

4, Simplification

Now y ≡ 1 (mod 4) means that 1 is the remainder when y is divided by 4. Equivalently, y = 1 + 4k, where k is some integer. (b) We can now solve for x: 1. 4x + 7y = 47

Given

2. 4x + 7(1 + 4k) = 47

1, Substituting y = 1 + 4k

3. 4x + 7 + 28k = 47

2, Simplification

4. 4x + 28k = 40

3, Subtracting 7 from both sides

5. x + 7k = 10

4, Dividing both sides by 4

6. x = 10 − 7k

5, Subtracting 7k from both sides

(c) All integer solutions of our original equation 4x + 7y = 47 can now be expressed as x = 10 − 7k and y = 1 + 4k, where the parameter k ranges over all (positive, negative, zero) integers. In our stamp scenario, the only meaningful solutions for x and y are nonnegative. For k = 0: x = 10, y = 1; for k = 1, x = 3, y = 5. (No other values of k ensure that x and y are nonnegative.) So the postmaster can dispense ten 4-cent stamps and one 7-cent stamp, or can dispense three 4-cent stamps and five 7-cent stamps. 19. (a) Since 13 (mod 13) = 0, 17 (mod 13) = 4, and 453 (mod 13) = 11, the congruence 13x + 17y ≡ 453 (mod 13) simplifies to the following, which we can then solve: 1. 4y ≡ 11 (mod 13)

Given

2. 10(4y) ≡ 10(11) (mod 13) 1, Multiplying both sides by 10 3. 40y ≡ 110 (mod 13)

2, Simplification

4. 1y ≡ 6 (mod 13)

3, Since 40 ≡ 1 (mod 13), 110 ≡ 6 (mod 13)

5. y ≡ 6 (mod 13)

4, Simplification 191

K25544_SM_Cover.indd 195

11/17/14 7:46 PM

All possible solutions y can then be expressed as y = 6 + 13k, where k is some integer. (b) We can now solve for x: 1. 13x + 17y = 453

Given

2. 13x + 17(6 + 13k) = 453

1, Substituting y = 6 + 13k

3. 13x + 102 + 221k = 453

2, Simplification

4. 13x + 221k = 351

3, Subtracting 102 from both sides

5. x + 17k = 27

4, Dividing both sides by 13

6. x = 27 − 17k

5, Subtracting 17k from both sides

(c) All integer solutions of our original equation 13x + 17y = 453 can now be expressed as x = 27 − 17k and y = 6 + 13k, where the parameter k ranges over all (positive, negative, zero) integers. There are only two values of k that produce nonnegative values for x and y. Namely, k = 0: x = 27, y = 6; k = 1: x = 10, y = 19. The solution with the fewest stamps uses ten 13-cent stamps and nineteen 17-cent stamps, for a total of 29 stamps. 20. (a) Since 11 (mod 11) = 0, 13 (mod 11) = 2, and 553 (mod 11) = 3, the congruence 11x + 13y ≡ 553 (mod 11) simplifies to the following, which we can then solve: 1. 2y ≡ 3 (mod 11)

Given

2. 6(2y) ≡ 6(3) (mod 11) 1, Multiplying both sides by 6 3. 12y ≡ 18 (mod 11)

2, Simplification

4. 1y ≡ 7 (mod 11)

4, Since 12 ≡ 1 (mod 11), 18 ≡ 7 (mod 11)

5. y ≡ 7 (mod 11)

5, Simplification

All possible solutions y can then be expressed as y = 7 + 11k, where k is some integer. (b) We can now solve for x: 1. 11x + 13y = 553

Given

2. 11x + 13(7 + 11k) = 553

1, Substituting y = 7 + 11k

3. 11x + 91 + 143k = 553

2, Simplification

4. 11x + 143k = 462

3, Subtracting 91 from both sides

5. x + 13k = 42

4, Dividing both sides by 11

6. x = 42 − 13k

5, Subtracting 13k from both sides

(c) All integer solutions of our original equation 11x + 13y = 553 can now be expressed as x = 42 − 13k and y = 7 + 11k, where the parameter k ranges over all (positive, negative, zero) integers. There are only four 192

values of k that produce nonnegative values for x and y. Namely, k = 0: x = 42, y = 7; k = 1: x = 29, y = 18; k = 2: x = 16, y = 29; k = 3: x = 3, y = 40. The solution with the fewest stamps uses three 11-cent and forty 13-cent stamps, for a total of 43 stamps. Caesar Cipher 21. We carry out the encryption as follows: S 18 6 G

Frequency Analysis 28. Since X is the most frequent letter in the ciphertext, and since E is the most frequent letter in Table 22.13, we would try X → E, but there is no two-letter English word beginning with E. So we try the next most frequent letter in Table 22.13 which is A. If X → A, we can have possible two-letter English words, so we try the corresponding shift of 23 (to the left). F 5 8 I

Binary Representation and Symmetric Cryptosystems Decimal, Hexadecimal, and Binary Number Systems 1. (a) Converting to binary, the largest power of 2 that does not exceed 5 is 22 = 4. Subtracting this produces 5 − 4 = 1 = 20 . This gives 5 = 22 + 20 and so the binary representation is 101. Converting to hexadecimal, the largest power of 16 that does not exceed 5 is 160 = 1. This gives 5 = 5×160 and so the hexadecimal representation is 5. (b) Converting to binary, the largest power of 2 that does not exceed 22 is 24 = 16. Subtracting this produces 22 − 16 = 6. The largest power of 2 that does not exceed 6 is 22 = 4 and subtracting this produces 6 − 4 = 2 = 21 . This gives 22 = 24 + 22 + 21 and so the binary representation is 10110. Converting to hexadecimal, the largest power of 16 that does not exceed 22 is 161 = 16. Dividing 22 by 16 gives a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 6. The remainder can now be expressed as 6 = 6×160 . So the hexadecimal representation of 22 is 16. (c) Converting to binary, the largest power of 2 that does not exceed 139 is 27 = 128. Subtracting this produces 139 − 128 = 11. The largest power of 2 that does not exceed 11 is 23 = 8 and subtracting this produces 11−8 = 3. Continuing we obtain 3 = 21 + 20 . This gives 139 = 27 + 23 + 21 + 20 and so the binary representation is 10001011. Converting to hexadecimal, the largest power of 16 that does not exceed 139 is 161 = 16. Dividing 139 by 16 gives a quotient of 8 and a remainder of 11. The remainder can now be expressed as 11 = 11 × 160 . Then 139 = (8 × 161 ) + (11 × 160 ) and so the hexadecimal representation of 139 is 8B. 198

2. (a) Converting to binary, the largest power of 2 that does not exceed 313 is 28 = 256. Subtracting this produces 313 − 256 = 57. The largest power of 2 that does not exceed 57 is 32 = 25 and subtracting this produces 57 − 32 = 25. Continuing we obtain 25 = 24 + 23 + 20 . This gives 313 = 28 + 25 + 24 + 23 + 20 and so the binary representation is 100111001. Converting to hexadecimal, the largest power of 16 that does not exceed 313 is 162 = 256. Dividing 313 by 256 gives a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 57. The largest power of 16 that does not exceed 57 is 161 = 16. Dividing 57 by 16 gives a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 9. The remainder can now be expressed as 9 = 9 × 160 . Then 313 = (1 × 162 ) + (3 × 161 ) + (9 × 160 ) and so the hexadecimal representation of 313 is 139. (b) Converting to binary, the largest power of 2 that does not exceed 579 is 29 = 512. Subtracting this produces 579 − 512 = 67. The largest power of 2 that does not exceed 67 is 64 = 26 and subtracting this produces 67 − 64 = 3. Continuing we obtain 3 = 21 + 20 . This gives 579 = 29 + 26 + 21 + 20 and so the binary representation is 1001000011. Converting to hexadecimal, the largest power of 16 that does not exceed 579 is 162 = 256. Dividing 579 by 256 gives a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 67. The largest power of 16 that does not exceed 67 is 161 = 16. Dividing 67 by 16 gives a quotient of 4 and a remainder of 3. The remainder can now be expressed as 3 = 3 × 160 . Then 579 = (2 × 162 ) + (4 × 161 ) + (3 × 160 ) and so the hexadecimal representation of 579 is 243. (c) Converting to binary, the largest power of 2 that does not exceed 1000 is 29 = 512. Subtracting this produces 1000 − 512 = 488. The largest power of 2 that does not exceed 488 is 256 = 28 and subtracting this produces 488 − 256 = 232. Continuing we obtain 232 = 27 + 26 + 25 + 23 . This gives 1000 = 29 + 28 + 27 + 26 + 25 + 23 and so the binary representation is 1111101000. Converting to hexadecimal, the largest power of 16 that does not exceed 1000 is 162 = 256. Dividing 1000 by 256 gives a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 232. The largest power of 16 that does not exceed 232 is 161 = 16. Dividing 232 by 16 gives a quotient of 14 and a remainder of 8. The remainder can now be expressed as 8 = 8 × 160 . Then 1000 = (3 × 162 ) + (14 × 161 ) + (8 × 160 ) and so the hexadecimal representation of 1000 is 3E8. 3. (a) (1 × 23 ) + (1 × 22 ) = 8 + 4 = 12. (b) (1 × 25 ) + (1 × 23 ) + (1 × 21 ) = 32 + 8 + 2 = 42. (c) (1×27 )+(1×26 )+(1×24 )+(1×21 )+(1×20 ) = 128+64+16+2+1 = 211.

(b) 101-101-101 . . .; this only generates the three sequences 101, 011, and 110. 7. 001101011110001-001101011110001 . . .; this generates all 15 nonzero sequences, that is, all 4-bit sequences except 0000. 8. 00111001-0111001-0111001 . . .; this generates only the eight sequences 0011, 0111, 1110, 1100, 1001, 0010, 0101, and 1011. 9. 0010110-0010110 . . .; this generates only seven of the 15 nonzero 4-bit sequences: 0010, 0101, 1011, 0110, 1100, 1000, and 0001. Vernam Cipher 10.(a,b) Using Table 23.4, R is assigned 82, U is assigned 85, and N is assigned 78. These decimal numbers are (respectively) converted into 01010010, 01010101, and 01001110. (c) Combining these three 8-bit strings produces the following plaintext message of length 24: 010100100101010101001110. Plaintext Random Key Ciphertext

11.(a,b) Using Table 23.4, K is assigned 75, G is assigned 71, and B is assigned 66. These decimal numbers are (respectively) converted into 01001011, 01000111, and 01000010.

(b) The binary number 01010011 is converted to the decimal number (1 × 64) + (1 × 16) + (1 × 2) + (1 × 1) = 83, which then corresponds to the plaintext letter S. Similarly, 01001011 is converted to the decimal number (1 × 64) + (1 × 8) + (1 × 2) + (1 × 1) = 75, giving the plaintext letter K, and 01011001 is converted to the decimal number (1 × 64) + (1 × 16) + (1 × 8) + (1 × 1) = 89, giving the ciphertext letter Y. The plaintext SKY is obtained. 13. (a) XORing of the ciphertext with the key produces Ciphertext Random Key Plaintext

(b) The binary number 01000010 is converted to the decimal number (1 × 64) + (1 × 2) = 66, which then corresponds to the plaintext letter B. Similarly, 01000001 is converted to the decimal number (1×64)+(1×1) = 65, giving the plaintext letter A, and 01000111 is converted to the decimal number (1 × 64) + (1 × 4) + (1 × 2) + (1 × 1) = 71, giving the ciphertext letter G. The plaintext BAG is obtained. 14. (a) To convert 79 into binary, we subtract the largest power of 2, giving 79 − 26 = 79 − 64 = 15; from 15 we subtract the largest power of 2, giving 15 − 23 = 15 − 8 = 7; and so on. The result is the expression 79 = 64 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 26 + 23 + 22 + 21 + 20 , providing the binary representation 01001111. Likewise, we find 139 = 128 + 8 + 2 + 1 = 27 + 23 + 21 + 20 , giving the binary representation 10001011. Finally, 26 = 16 + 8 + 2 = 24 + 23 + 21 , giving the binary representation 00011010. (b) The three binary RGB numbers are combined into the 24-bit string 010011111000101100011010. Suppose that we use the randomly generated 24-bit key 111100100100000011100000. The 24-bit plaintext and the 24-bit key are combined in the table below using the XOR operation: Plaintext Random Key Ciphertext

(c) The ciphertext 10111101 11001011 11111010 is then translated into three decimal numbers: 10111101 → 27 +25 +24 +23 +22 +20 = 128+32+16+ 8+4+1 = 189, 11001011 → 27 +26 +23 +21 +20 = 128+64+8+2+1 = 203, and 11111010 → 27 + 26 + 25 + 24 + 23 + 21 = 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 2 = 201

(a) Using Table 23.4 we identify the decimal equivalent for each letter: S → 83, Y→ 89, N→ 78, and C→ 67. Then these decimal numbers are converted to the hexadecimal numbers 53, 59, 4E, and 43 (respectively) resulting in the array shown below: S Y

N C

4E 43

(b) The initial plaintext array is XORed with the initial key. This is done by converting each hexadecimal number to binary and then carrying out the XOR operation bit by bit. For example, hexadecimal 53 is 01010011 in binary and hexadecimal 42 is 01000010 in binary; taking the exclusive-or of these two binary numbers results in 00010001 = 11 in hexadecimal. The result of applying the XOR operation to the initial plaintext array is shown below: 53 59

(b) The new column is XORed with the column of predefined numbers and then with the first column of the initial key. For example, to process the first element of the new column, we first convert the hexadecimal entries to binary as follows: CB → 11001011; C4 → 11000100; 43 → 01000011. Taking the XOR of these three binary numbers bit by bit produces 01001100 or 4C. The second element of the new column is transformed in a similar way, producing CB D6

Prime Numbers and Public-Key Cryptosystems Modular Inverses 1. (a) We keep trying multiples of 7 until we find a remainder of 1 (mod 15): 1 × 7 = 7 (mod 15); 2 × 7 = 14 (mod 15); 3 × 7 = 21 ≡ 6 (mod 15); 4 × 7 = 28 ≡ 13 (mod 15); 5 × 7 = 35 ≡ 5 (mod 15); 6 × 7 = 42 ≡ 12 (mod 15); 7 × 7 = 49 ≡ 4 (mod 15); 8 × 7 = 56 ≡ 11 (mod 15); 9 × 7 = 63 ≡ 3 (mod 15); 10 × 7 = 70 ≡ 10 (mod 15); 11 × 7 = 77 ≡ 2 (mod 15); 12 × 7 = 84 ≡ 9 (mod 15); 13 × 7 = 91 ≡ 1 (mod 15). This means that 13 is the inverse of 7 modulo 15. Since 7 × 13 = 13 × 7 ≡ 1 (mod 15), 7 is the inverse of 13 modulo 15. Notice that both 13 and 7 are relatively prime to 15; neither is divisible by 3 or 5. (b) We keep trying multiples of 11 until we find a remainder of 1 (mod 15): 1 × 11 = 11 (mod 15); 2 × 11 = 22 ≡ 7 (mod 15); 3 × 11 = 33 ≡ 3 (mod 15); 4 × 11 = 44 ≡ 14 (mod 15); 5 × 11 = 55 ≡ 10 (mod 15); 6 × 11 = 66 ≡ 6 (mod 15); 7 × 11 = 77 ≡ 2 (mod 15); 8 × 11 = 88 ≡ 13 (mod 15); 9 × 11 = 99 ≡ 9 (mod 15); 10 × 11 = 110 ≡ 5 (mod 15); 11 × 11 = 121 ≡ 1 (mod 15). This means that 11 is its own inverse modulo 15. (c) Trying multiples of 10 produces 1 × 10 = 10 (mod 15); 2 × 10 = 20 ≡ 5 (mod 15); 3 × 10 = 30 ≡ 0 (mod 15); 4 × 10 = 40 ≡ 10 (mod 15); 5 × 10 = 50 ≡ 5 (mod 15); 6 × 10 = 60 ≡ 0 (mod 15); 7 × 10 = 70 ≡ 10 (mod 15); 8×10 = 80 ≡ 5 (mod 15); 9×10 = 90 ≡ 0 (mod 15); 10×10 = 100 ≡ 10 (mod 15); 11 × 10 = 110 ≡ 5 (mod 15); 12 × 10 = 120 ≡ 0 (mod 15); 13 × 10 = 130 ≡ 10 (mod 15); 14 × 10 = 140 ≡ 5 (mod 15). This means that 10 does not have an inverse modulo 15. Notice that 10 is not relatively prime to 15, as they both share the divisor 5. (d) The numbers that have inverses modulo 15 are exactly those relatively prime to 15: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14. 206

2. (a) We keep trying multiples of 7 until we find a remainder of 1 (mod 14): 1 × 7 = 7 (mod 14); 2 × 7 = 14 ≡ 0 (mod 14); 3 × 7 = 21 ≡ 7 (mod 14); 4 × 7 = 28 ≡ 0 (mod 14); 5 × 7 = 35 ≡ 7 (mod 14); 6 × 7 = 42 ≡ 0 (mod 14); 7 × 7 = 49 ≡ 7 (mod 14); 8 × 7 = 56 ≡ 0 (mod 14); 9 × 7 = 63 ≡ 7 (mod 14); 10 × 7 = 70 ≡ 0 (mod 14); 11 × 7 = 77 ≡ 7 (mod 14); 12 × 7 = 84 ≡ 0 (mod 14); 13 × 7 = 91 ≡ 7 (mod 14). This means that 7 does not have an inverse modulo 14. Notice that 7 is not relatively prime to 14, as they both share the divisor 7. (b) We keep trying multiples of 11 until we find a remainder of 1 (mod 14): 1 × 11 = 11 (mod 14); 2 × 11 = 22 ≡ 8 (mod 14); 3 × 11 = 33 ≡ 5 (mod 14); 4 × 11 = 44 ≡ 2 (mod 14); 5 × 11 = 55 ≡ 13 (mod 14); 6 × 11 = 66 ≡ 10 (mod 14); 7 × 11 = 77 ≡ 7 (mod 14); 8 × 11 = 88 ≡ 4 (mod 14); 9 × 11 = 99 ≡ 1 (mod 14). This means that 9 is the inverse of 11 (mod 14). (c) Trying multiples of 10 produces 1 × 10 = 10 (mod 14); 2 × 10 = 20 ≡ 6 (mod 14); 3×10 = 30 ≡ 2 (mod 14); 4×10 = 40 ≡ 12 (mod 14); 5×10 = 50 ≡ 8 (mod 14); 6 × 10 = 60 ≡ 4 (mod 14); 7 × 10 = 70 ≡ 0 (mod 14); 8× 10 = 80 ≡ 10 (mod 14); 9× 10 = 90 ≡ 6 (mod 14); 10× 10 = 100 ≡ 2 (mod 14); 11 × 10 = 110 ≡ 12 (mod 14); 12 × 10 = 120 ≡ 8 (mod 14); 13 × 10 = 130 ≡ 4 (mod 14). This means that 10 does not have an inverse modulo 14. Notice that 10 is not relatively prime to 14, as they both share the divisor 2. (d) The numbers that have inverses modulo 14 are exactly those relatively prime to 14: 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13. Discrete Logarithms 3. (a) Taking successive powers of 3, modulo 5 produces: 30 (mod 5) = 1; 31 (mod 5) = 3; 32 (mod 5) = 4; 33 (mod 5) = 27 (mod 5) = 2; 34 (mod 5) = 81 (mod 5) = 1. So the remainder 2 is uniquely produced using the exponent 3, meaning that log3 2 (mod 5) = 3. Notice that the successive remainders 1, 3, 4, 2 produced are all the nonzero remainders, modulo 5. (b) Taking successive powers of 4, modulo 5 produces: 40 (mod 5) = 1; 41 (mod 5) = 4; 42 (mod 5) = 16 (mod 5) = 1; 43 (mod 5) = 64 (mod 5) = 4; 44 (mod 5) = 256 (mod 5) = 1. As a result, log4 2 (mod 5) does not exist: there is no exponent e so that 4e (mod 5) = 2. 4. (a) Taking successive powers of 2, modulo 11 produces: 20 (mod 11) = 1; 21 (mod 11) = 2; 22 (mod 11) = 4; 23 (mod 11) = 8; 24 (mod 11) = 16 (mod 11) = 5; 25 (mod 11) = 32 (mod 11) = 10; 26 (mod 11) = 64 (mod 11) = 9; 27 (mod 11) = 128 (mod 11) = 7; 28 (mod 11) = 256 (mod 11) = 3; 29 (mod 11) = 512 (mod 11) = 6; 210 (mod 11) = 1024 (mod 11) = 1. The remainder 6 is uniquely produced using the exponent 207

K25544_SM_Cover.indd 211

11/17/14 7:46 PM

9, so log2 6 (mod 11) = 9. Notice that all the nonzero remainders modulo 11 are produced. (b) Taking successive powers of 3, modulo 11 produces: 30 (mod 11) = 1; 31 (mod 11) = 3; 32 (mod 11) = 9; 33 (mod 11) = 27 (mod 11) = 5; 34 (mod 11) = 81 (mod 11) = 4; 35 (mod 11) = 243 (mod 11) = 1; 36 (mod 11) = 729 (mod 11) = 3; 37 (mod 11) = 2187 (mod 11) = 9; 38 (mod 11) = 6561 (mod 11) = 5; 39 (mod 11) = 19,683 (mod 11) = 4; 310 (mod 11) = 59,049 (mod 11) = 1. So, the remainder 6 is not produced using the exponent 3. As a result, log3 6 (mod 11) does not exist: there is no exponent e so that 3e (mod 11) = 6. Notice that the only remainders produced are 1, 3, 4, 5, 9. Generators Modulo p 5. (a) Since all powers of 1 equal 1, b = 1 is not a generator. Calculations are shown below of the successive powers bk for b = 2, 3, 4. As a result, we see that 2 and 3 are the only generators modulo 5. b=2 b=3 b=4

k=1 21 (mod 5) = 2 31 (mod 5) = 3 41 (mod 5) = 4

k=2 22 (mod 5) = 4 32 (mod 5) = 4 42 (mod 5) = 1

k=3 23 (mod 5) = 3 33 (mod 5) = 2 43 (mod 5) = 4

k=4 24 (mod 5) = 1 34 (mod 5) = 1 44 (mod 5) = 1

(b) Determine which numbers in the range 1, 2, 3 are relatively prime to 5 − 1 = 4. Only 1 and 3 are relatively prime to 4, so there are two such numbers. This agrees with the number of generators b found in part (a). 6. (a) Taking successive powers of 6, modulo 11 produces: 60 (mod 11) = 1; 61 (mod 11) = 6; 62 (mod 11) = 36 (mod 11) = 3; 63 (mod 11) = 216 (mod 11) = 7; 64 (mod 11) = 1296 (mod 11) = 9; 65 (mod 11) = 7776 (mod 11) = 10; 66 (mod 11) = 46,656 (mod 11) = 5; 67 (mod 11) = 279,936 (mod 11) = 8; 68 (mod 11) = 1,679,616 (mod 11) = 4; 69 (mod 11) = 10,077,696 (mod 11) = 2; 610 (mod 11) = 60,466,176 (mod 11) = 1. All nonzero remainders modulo 11 are produced, so 6 is a generator modulo 11. (b) Determine which numbers in the range 1, 2, . . . , 9 are relatively prime to 11 − 1 = 10. Namely, 1, 3, 7, and 9 are relatively prime to 10, so there are four generators modulo 11. Prime Division and Prime Factorization 7. The square root of 5670 is approximately 75 so we only need to consider primes less than 75. The smallest prime that divides 5670 is p1 = 2, giving the quotient 5670 2 = 2835. We continue to divide each quotient by the smallest prime that divides it evenly: 208

11/17/14 7:46 PM

p2 = 3 gives the quotient p3 = 3 gives the quotient p4 = 3 gives the quotient p5 = 3 gives the quotient p6 = 5 gives the quotient

2835 3 = 945; 945 3 = 315; 315 3 = 105; 105 3 = 35; 35 5 = 7.

We stop here because 7 is prime. The prime factorization of 5670 is 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 2 × 34 × 5 × 7. 8. The square root of 52,745 is approximately 230 so we only need to consider primes less than 230. The smallest prime that divides 52,745 turns out to be p1 = 5, giving the quotient 52,745 = 10,549. We continue to divide each 5 quotient by the smallest prime that divides it evenly: 10,549 7 1507 quotient 11

p2 = 7 gives the quotient

= 1507;

p3 = 11 gives the

= 137.

We stop here because 137 is prime. The prime factorization of 52,745 is 5 × 7 × 11 × 137. Exponentials and Logarithms Modulo p 9. (a) Because 225 is itself very large, we express it as the product (210 )2 × 25 (mod 13) ≡ 102 × 6 (mod 13) = 600 (mod 13) = 2. (b) The brute-force solution is to try all possible exponents 0, 1, . . . , 12: 20 (mod 13) = 1; 21 (mod 13) = 2; 22 (mod 13) = 4; 23 (mod 13) = 8; 24 (mod 13) = 16 (mod 13) = 3; 25 (mod 13) = 32 (mod 13) = 6; 26 (mod 13) = 64 (mod 13) = 12; 27 (mod 13) = 128 (mod 13) = 11. So, we discover that log2 11 (mod 13) = 7. 10. (a) Because 542 is itself very large, we express it as the product (510 )4 × 52 (mod 23) ≡ 94 × 2 (mod 23) = 6561 × 2 (mod 23) = 13,122 (mod 23) = 12. (b) The brute-force solution is to try all possible exponents 0, 1, . . . , 22: 50 (mod 23) = 1; 51 (mod 23) = 5; 52 (mod 23) = 25 (mod 23) = 2; 53 (mod 23) = 52 × 5 (mod 23) ≡ 2 × 5 (mod 23) = 10; 54 (mod 23) = 52 × 52 (mod 23) ≡ 2 × 2 (mod 23) = 4; 55 (mod 23) = 53 × 52 (mod 23) ≡ 10 × 2 (mod 23) = 20; 56 (mod 23) = 54 × 52 (mod 23) ≡ 4 × 2 (mod 23) = 8. So, we discover that log5 8 (mod 23) = 6. 11. The last two digits will be 2727 (mod 100) = (275 )5 ×272 (mod 100) ≡ 75 ×729 (mod 100) ≡ 75 × 29 (mod 100) ≡ 7 × 29 (mod 100) = 3 (mod 100) = 3. Consequently, the last two digits are 03. 12. The last two digits will be 1926 (mod 100) = (194 )5 ×196 (mod 100) ≡ 215 ×81 (mod 100) ≡ 1 × 81 (mod 100) = 81. Consequently, the last two digits are 81. 209

RSA Encryption 13. (a) The public modulus is n = 5 × 17 = 85. (b) The public key e = 13 is relatively prime to (p − 1)(q − 1) = 4 × 16 = 64 because the only common factor of 13 and 64 is 1. (c) The ciphertext C is calculated using C = P e (mod n) = 913 (mod 85) = (95 )2 × 93 (mod 85) ≡ 592 × 49 (mod 85) = 59. 14. (a) The public modulus is n = 7 × 11 = 77.

(b) The public key e = 17 is relatively prime to (p−1)(q−1) = 60×52 = 3120 because the only common factor of 17 and 3120 is 1. (c) The ciphertext C is calculated as P e (mod n) = 12317 (mod 3233) = (1234 )2 × (1234 )2 × 123 (mod 3233) ≡ (3173)2 × (3173)2 × 123 (mod 3233) ≡ 367 × 367 × 123 (mod 3233) = 16,566,747 (mod 3233) = 855. RSA Decryption 16. (a) The public modulus is n = 5 × 7 = 35. (b) The public key e = 5 is relatively prime to (p − 1)(q − 1) = 4 × 6 = 24 because the only common factor of 5 and 24 is 1. (c) To verify that d = 29 is the inverse of e = 5 modulo (p − 1)(q − 1), we calculate de (mod (p−1)(q−1)) = 29×5 (mod 24) = 145 (mod 24) = 1. (d) The plaintext P is calculated using C d (mod n) = 1829 (mod 35) = (187 )4 × 18 (mod 35) ≡ 324 × 18 (mod 35) ≡ 11 × 18 (mod 35) = 198 (mod 35) = 23. The plaintext is P = 23. 17. (a) The public modulus is n = 3 × 17 = 51. (b) The public key e = 7 is relatively prime to (p − 1)(q − 1) = 2 × 16 = 32 because the only common factor of 7 and 32 is 1.

18. (a) The public modulus is n = 47 × 59 = 2773. (b) The public key e = 157 is relatively prime to (p − 1)(q − 1) = 46 × 58 = 2668 because the only common factor of 157 and 2668 is 1. (c) To verify that d = 17 is the inverse of e = 157 modulo (p − 1)(q − 1), we calculate de (mod (p − 1)(q − 1)) = 17 × 157 (mod 2668) = 2669 (mod 2668) = 1. (d) The plaintext P is calculated using C d (mod n) = 18717 (mod 2773). Since 18717 is too large to calculate directly, we rewrite it as (1872 )8 ×187 (mod 2773) ≡ 16938 × 187 (mod 2773) = (16932 )4 × 187 (mod 2773) ≡ 17404 × 187 (mod 2773) = (17402 )2 × 187 (mod 2773) ≡ 22572 × 187 (mod 2773) ≡ 48 × 187 (mod 2773) = 657. The plaintext is P = 657. RSA Encryption and Decryption 19. (a) The public modulus is n = 17 × 11 = 187. (b) The public key e = 7 is relatively prime to (p − 1)(q − 1) = 16 × 10 = 160 because the only common factor of 7 and 160 is 1. (c) From Table 22.7, R → 17, U → 20, N → 13. Each block P of the plaintext is encrypted using P e (mod n) so that the plaintext message 17-20-13 is transformed as follows: 177 (mod 187) = 85, 207 (mod 187) = 147, and 137 (mod 187) = 106. The ciphertext 85-147-106 will be sent. (d) Each block C of the ciphertext 85-147-106 is decrypted using C d (mod n): 8523 (mod 187) = (855 )4 × 853 (mod 187) ≡ 1534 × 853 (mod 187) ≡ 34 × 17 (mod 187) = 17; 14723 (mod 187) = (1474 )5 × 1473 (mod 187) ≡ 1575 × 1473 (mod 187) = 1574 × 157 × 1473 (mod 187) ≡ 103 × 157 × 1473 (mod 187) ≡ 103 × 157 × 141 (mod 187) = 20; 10623 (mod 187) = (1064 )5 × 1063 (mod 187) ≡ 695 × 1063 (mod 187) ≡ 1 × 13 (mod 187) = 13. So the plaintext recovered is 17-20-13, which corresponds to the plaintext message RUN. (e) To verify that d = 23 is the inverse of e = 7 modulo (p − 1)(q − 1), we calculate de (mod (p−1)(q −1)) = 23×7 (mod 160) = 161 (mod 160) = 1. 20. (a) The public modulus is n = 23 × 41 = 943. (b) The public key e = 7 is relatively prime to (p − 1)(q − 1) = 22 × 40 = 880, because the only common factor of 7 and 880 is 1. (c) The plaintext message P = 35 is transformed using C = P e (mod n) = 357 (mod 943) = 354 × 353 (mod 943) ≡ 312 × 440 (mod 943) = 545. (d) The message C = 545 is decrypted using P = C d (mod n): 545503 (mod 943). Using the binary representation of 503, we obtain 545503 = 5451+2+4+16+32+64+128+256 , so it is useful to create the following table:

211

K25544_SM_Cover.indd 215

11/17/14 7:46 PM

5451 (mod 943) = 545 5454 (mod 943) = 400 54532 (mod 943) = 795 545128 (mod 943) = 18

5452 (mod 943) = 923 54516 (mod 943) = 857 54564 (mod 943) = 215 545256 (mod 943) = 324

Then 545503 (mod 943) ≡ (545×923×400)×(857×795×215)×(18×324) (mod 943) ≡ 432 × 877 × 174 (mod 943) = 35. (e) To see that d = 503 is the inverse of e = 7 modulo (p−1)(q −1), we calculate de (mod (p−1)(q −1)) = 503×7 (mod 880) = 3521 (mod 880) = 1. ElGamal Encryption 21. (a) C1 = g k (mod p) = 29 (mod 11) = 6 and C2 = P y k (mod p) = 5 × 39 (mod 11) = 9. The pair (6, 9) is sent to the receiver. (b) The equation used to define the public number y is y = g x (mod p). Using the known published numbers, this becomes the modular equation 3 = 2x (mod 11). In other words, we would need to find the discrete logarithm log2 3 (mod 11). 22. (a) C1 = g k (mod p) = 25 (mod 29) = 3 and C2 = P y k (mod p) = 26 × 75 (mod 29) = 10. The pair (3, 10) is sent to the receiver. (b) The equation used to define the public number y is y = g x (mod p). Using the known published numbers, this becomes the modular equation 7 = 2x (mod 29). In other words, we would need to find the discrete logarithm log2 7 (mod 29). ElGamal Decryption 23. (a) z = C1x (mod p) = 155 (mod 17) = 2. (b) To verify that 9 is the inverse (modulo 17) of z = 2, we compute the product 9 × 2 (mod 17) = 1. (c) To solve zP ≡ C2 (mod p), we compute z −1 C2 (mod p) = 9 × 9 (mod 17) = 13. The plaintext is P = 13. 24. (a) z = C1x (mod p) = 2623 (mod 107) = (265 )4 ×263 (mod 107) ≡ 964 ×263 (mod 107) ≡ 89 × 28 (mod 107) = 31. (b) To verify that 38 is the inverse (modulo 107) of z = 31, we compute the product 38 × 31 (mod 107) = 1. (c) To solve zP ≡ C2 (mod p), we compute z −1 C2 (mod p) = 38 × 12 (mod 107) = 28. The plaintext is P = 28.

ElGamal Encryption and Decryption 25. (a) The receiver’s transformed key y is found using y = g x (mod p) = 23 (mod 13) = 8. (b) C1 = g k (mod p) = 25 (mod 13) = 6. C2 = P y k (mod p) = 7 × 85 (mod 13) = 4. The ciphertext pair (C1 , C2 ) = (6, 4) is sent to the receiver. (c) z = C1x (mod p) = 63 (mod 13) = 8; since 5 × 8 (mod 13) = 1, we have verified that z −1 = 5. (d) We multiply C2 by the modular inverse to obtain z −1 C2 (mod p) = 5 × 4 (mod 13) = 7, which is the original plaintext P . 26. (a) The receiver’s transformed key y is found using y = gx (mod p) = 437 (mod 167) = (410 )3 × 47 (mod 167) ≡ 1503 × 47 (mod 167) ≡ 97 × 18 (mod 167) = 76. (b) C1 = g k (mod p) = 471 (mod 167) = (410 )7 × 4 (mod 167) ≡ 1504 × 1503 ×4 (mod 167) ≡ 21×97×4 (mod 167) = 132. C2 = P y k (mod p) = 65 × 7671 (mod 167) = 65 × (765 )14 × 76 (mod 167) ≡ 65 × (1144 )3 × 1142 ×76 (mod 167) ≡ 65×653 ×1142 ×76 (mod 167) ≡ 65×77×137×76 (mod 167) = 44. The ciphertext pair (C1 , C2 ) = (132, 44) is sent to the receiver. (c) z = C1x (mod p) = 13237 (mod 167) = (1324 )9 × 132 (mod 167) ≡ (1304 )2 × 130 × 132 (mod 167) ≡ 872 × 130 × 132 (mod 167) ≡ 6 × 132 (mod 167) = 124; since 66 × 124 (mod 167) = 1, we have verified that z −1 = 66. (d) We multiply C2 by the modular inverse to obtain z −1 C2 (mod p) = 66 × 44 (mod 167) = 65, which is the original plaintext P . Elliptic Curve Cryptography 27. When x = 0 the equation y 2 ≡ x3 + x + 4 (mod 5) becomes y 2 ≡ 4 (mod 5), which has the solutions y = 2 and y = 3. When x = 1 the equation y 2 ≡ x3 + x + 4 (mod 5) becomes y 2 ≡ 1 (mod 5), which has the solutions y = 1 and y = 4. Similar calculations result in the eight solutions listed in the following table: x y

28. (a) Using the table, g = (1, 2), 2g = (1, 2) + (1, 2) = (3, 3), 3g = 2g + g = (3, 3) + (1, 2) = (0, 1), 4g = (0, 1) + (1, 2) = (0, 4), 5g = (0, 4) + (1, 2) = (3, 2), 6g = (3, 2) + (1, 2) = (1, 3), 7g = (1, 3) + (1, 2) = (0, 0). All points are generated as multiples of g. (b) y = xg = 4g = 2g + 2g = (3, 3) + (3, 3) = (0, 4). 213

(c) C1 = kg = 3g = (0, 1) and C2 = P + ky = (3, 2) + 3(0, 4) = [(3, 2) + (0, 4)] + [(0, 4) + (0, 4)] = (3, 3) + (1, 2) = (0, 1). (d) Given these values for C1 and C2 , the receiver then needs to solve the equation xC1 +P = C2 or 4(0, 1)+P = (0, 1). We first calculate 4(0, 1) = [(0, 1) + (0, 1)] + [(0, 1) + (0, 1)] = (1, 3) + (1, 3) = (3, 2). We next need to solve (3, 2)+P = (0, 1). From the table, we find that (3, 3)+(3, 2) = (0, 0) so we add (3, 3) to both sides of the equation to get (3, 3) + (3, 2) + P = (3, 3) + (0, 1) (0, 0) + P = (3, 2) P = (3, 2). Notice that we are able to recover the original message P = (3, 2). RSA, Digital Signatures, and Hashing 29. (a) h(M ) = M1 + M2 + M3 + M4 (mod n) = (7865 + 3456 + 6211 + 5249) (mod 5011) = 22,781 (mod 5011) = 2737. (b) h(M ) = M1 + M2 + M3 + M4 (mod n) = (7685 + 3456 + 6211 + 5249) (mod 5011) = 22,601 (mod 5011) = 2557. Notice that the (inadvertent) error causes the hashed value to change. 30. (a) A encrypts P = 11 using B’s public information, obtaining the ciphertext C = P eB (mod nB ) = 115 (mod 35) = 16. (b) A signs the plaintext P = 11 using his private key, creating the signature S = P dA (mod nA ) = 1123 (mod 51) = (118 )2 ×117 (mod 51) ≡ 162 ×20 (mod 51) = 20. (c) Now B decrypts the ciphertext C = 16 to obtain the plaintext P = C dB (mod nB ) = 1629 (mod 35) = (165 )5 × 164 (mod 35) ≡ 115 × 164 (mod 35) ≡ 16 × 16 (mod 35) = 11. (d) B verifies the signature S by computing V = S eA (mod nA ) = 207 (mod 51) = 11. Since the decrypted signature V matches the plaintext P , the signature is verified. 31. (a) A encrypts P = 17 using B’s public information, obtaining the ciphertext C = P eB (mod nB ) = 173 (mod 33) = 29. (b) First, A computes the hashed plaintext H = h(P ) = P (mod n) = 17 (mod 7) = 3. Then H is signed using S = H dA (mod nA ) = 323 (mod 55) = (310 )2 × 33 (mod 55) ≡ 342 × 33 (mod 55) ≡ 1 × 27 (mod 55) = 27. (c) Now B decrypts the ciphertext C = 29 to obtain the plaintext P = C dB (mod nB ) = 297 (mod 33) = 293 × 294 (mod 33) ≡ 2 × 25 (mod 33) = 17. 214

(d) First, B computes the hashed plaintext, given the value P = 17 just determined: H = h(P ) = P (mod n) = 17 (mod 7) = 3. Next, B verifies the hashed signature S by computing V = S eA (mod nA ) = 277 (mod 55) = 274 × 273 (mod 55) ≡ 31 × 48 (mod 55) = 3. Since the decrypted signature V matches the hashed plaintext H, the signature is verified.
