write my assignment 2754

Given an Elgamel encryption scheme with public parameters kpub = (p, a, B) and an unknown private key kpr = d. Due to an erroneous implementation of the random number generator of the encrypting party, the following relation holds for two temporary keys:

kM,j+1 = k2M,j mod p.

Given n consecutive ciphertexts

(kE1, y1), (kE2, y2),…,(KEn, yn)

to the plaintexts

x1,x2,…,xn.

Furthermore, the first plaintext x1 is known (e.g., header information).

1. Describe how an attacker can compute the plaintexts x1, x2, …,xn from the given quantities.
2. Can an attacker compute the private key d from the given information? Give reasons for your answer.
