Answer #1

1. Plain RSA encryption is malleable because it can be changed.

  • Suppose A sends ciphertext c to B, but it is intercepted and changed to c’ by Eve.
  • Bob decrypts –> m’ = c’ * d mod n
  • This is not the message sent by Alice.

If there could be a special structure for m then only it can be detected

Thus it is proved that the RSA encryption is malleable

2.  RSA-OAEP is not malleable, this is the reason Plain RSA is used along with this in order to make it more secure whereas AES is malleable.

Friend, That was a nice question to answer
If you have any doubts in understanding do let me know in the comment section. I will be happy to help you further.
Thanks
