Question 2
Passing on secrets:Alice has posted her RSA credentials as , with the modulus and the encoding exponent. As required by RSA, she keeps her decoding exponent $d$ preciously secret.Bob has a message , RSA-encrypts it using and passes the resulting cryptogram on to Carlos.Carlos has a message , RSA-encrypts it using to obtain the cryptogram . Then, Carlos multiplies the two cryptograms, and passes this to Alice.Alice applies her regular RSA decryption to Under what condition is the result of this decryption exactly equal to the product ?
