Question

What values do you get after you XOR the following message with the given pad? (Use the same encryption technique used in the final code)

a) 01011001
b) 11001100
c) 00111100
d) 10101010

Answer 1

To XOR the message with the given pad, perform the XOR operation between each pair of corresponding bits in the message and the pad.

Step-by-step explanation:

The XOR operation (exclusive OR) is a binary operation that takes two binary digits as input and returns true only if exactly one of the bits is true. To XOR the message with the given pad, you perform the XOR operation between each pair of corresponding bits in the message and the pad.

1. XOR a) 01011001 with the given pad: result = 01011001 XOR pad
2. XOR b) 11001100 with the given pad: result = 11001100 XOR pad
3. XOR c) 00111100 with the given pad: result = 00111100 XOR pad
4. XOR d) 10101010 with the given pad: result = 10101010 XOR pad

Replace 'pad' with the actual value of the pad to get the final XORed values for each message.
