(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=0xb1dcb1e81bb933ee and C2=0xa36da13ab52d8552. We also happen to know that
M1=0xe7cb99c00c599b7e.
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.
