Questions and Answers

What is the probability distribution of message space for the shift cipher instance described?

  • Pr[M=a]=0.25, Pr[M=b]=0.5, Pr[M=c]=0.25 (correct)
  • Pr[M=a]=0.5, Pr[M=b]=0.25, Pr[M=c]=0.25
  • Pr[M=a]=0.14, Pr[M=b]=0.36, Pr[M=c]=0.5
  • Pr[M=a]=0.3, Pr[M=b]=0.3, Pr[M=c]=0.4

What is the correct statement regarding the probability of the ciphertext 'D' and 'E' in the given shift cipher instance?

  • Probability that the ciphertext is “D” is 126
  • Probability that the ciphertext is “A” is 14th the probability that the ciphertext is “D”
  • Probability that the ciphertext is “D” is half the probability that the ciphertext is “E”
  • Probability that the ciphertext is “D” is the same as the probability that the ciphertext is “E” (correct)

What is the incorrect statement about the probabilities in the given shift cipher instance?

  • The probability that the ciphertext is 'D' is 126 (correct)
  • The probability that the ciphertext is 'E' is double the probability of 'A'
  • The probability that the ciphertext is 'E' is higher than 'A'
  • The probability that the ciphertext is 'B' is 5 times higher than 'A'
