Answer:
No. This is not more secure.
Explanation:
this is not more secure than having all of Carol, bob and Alice having the same key.
alice would be able to know Carol's key for her to be able to verify the answer Carol gave to a challenge by her. she would also have to know bob's key to do the same.
any of these 3 would have to know someone else's secret key to verify answers to any challenge.
the challenge is to know the secret keys if the other two and if done, decryption can easily be done and they can impersonate.
Hmm... I feel like this query is much broader than it should be. However, I will start my initial answer, then another potential solution.
My initial answer to your query was: A condition controlled loop is used to control the number of times a loop iterates.
The potential answer, my secondary one, is: A count controlled loop iterates a specific number of times.
Two results, but my initial answer is the solution I opted when understanding this.
n where n is the number of chances user takes to enter a blank number and n>=1.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The loop starts with a universal condition where it is initialized using a true value. Hence the iteration count goes to 1. The user is asked to enter a number after 1st iteration. If number is a blank number, the loop is terminated, else the loop goes on until the users enters a blank number. Hence the iterations depend on the number of chances taken by the user to enter a blank number. Since the user is going to enter a number at least once, the minimum value of n will be 1.
user_str1 = str ( input ("Please enter a phrase: "))
user_str2 = str ( input("Please enter a second phrase: "))
def strcmp (word):
user_in1 = int (len(user_str1))
user_in2 = int (len(user_str2))
if user_in1 > user_in2:
return "Your first phrase is longer"
elif user_in1 < user_in2:
return "Your second phrase is longer"
else:
return "Your phrases are of equal length"
