Super-Encipherment using two affine transformations results in another affine transformation.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question in an online interview.The question is from Block Cipher Systems in portion Block Ciphers and the Data Encryption Standard of Cryptograph & Network Security

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (a) True

For EXPLANATION I would say: f(g(m))=A_1 g(m)+c_1

f(g(m))=A_1 (A_2 m+c_2)+c_1 f(g(m))=A_1 A_2 m+A_1 c_2+c_1 f(x)=A_3 m+c_3

where

A_3=A_1 A_2

c_3=A_1 c_2+c_1

This results in another affine TRANSFORMATION, and does not improve the security.
