(1 point) A cryptography student has accidentally used the same keystream to encrypt two different
messages, M1 and M2. We know that the ciphertexts are C1=0xe0a22570bde7a0f2 and
C2=0xe6f64951a12ce91b. We also happen to know that M1=0x1cfddae15dc57899.
a) What is M2 in hexadecimal? Please give your answer a leading 0x and use lowercase letters only.
b) What is the keystream? Please give your answer a leading 0x and use lowercase letters only.
Hint: These are all 8 byte numbers and will fit in an unsigned long type on most systems.
