## Questions
|
|
|
|
### 7.1 Part 1
|
|
$D(c,a,b)=a^{-1}(c-b)\;\text{mod}\;128$
|
|
|
|
### 7.1 Part 2
|
|
Restrictions on $a$ and $b$:
|
|
1. $0 < a < 128$, $a$ and $128$ must be coprime, i.e. $\text{gcd}(128,a)=1$
|
|
2. $0 \leq b < 128$
|
|
|
|
### 7.1 Part 3
|
|
Because 128 is coprime with all odd numbers less than itself (1, 3, 5, …, 127), there are 64 possible values for a. There are 128 options for b so there exists an upper limit on valid $a$, $b$
