(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=0x6d4b77945914e2c5 and C2=0x71681d7da4fc4f3e. We also
happen to know that M1=0x19867a7e0fdd3ab6.
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.
