A message has 2000 characters. If it is supposed to be encrypted using a block cipher of 64 bits, find the size of the padding and the number of blocks.
Added by Rebekah L.
Step 1
First, we need to convert the number of characters in the message to bits. Since 1 character is typically represented by 8 bits (1 byte), we have 2000 characters * 8 bits/character = 16000 bits. Show more…
