Question

You are doing a Diffie-Hellman-Merkle key exchange with Steve using generator 2 and prime 23. You pick the secret number 10. What value will you send to Steve

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Explanation:

Given:

Generator = g = 2

Prime = p = 23

secret number = a = 10

To find:

Let A be the value to be sent to Steve

Solution:

A = gᵃ mod p

  = 2¹⁰ mod 23

  = 1024 mod 23

  = 12

A = 12

Hence the value sent to Steve is 12
