Here are two longer messages to decode if you like to use computers.

(a) You have been sent the following message:

5272281348, 21089283929, 3117723025, 26844144908, 22890519533,

26945939925, 27395704341, 2253724391, 1481682985, 2163791130,

13583590307, 5838404872, 12165330281, 28372578777, 7536755222.

It has been encoded using p = 187963, q = 163841, m = pq = 30796045883, and

k = 48611. Decode the message.


(b) You intercept the following message, which you know has been encoded using the modulus m = 956331992007843552652604425031376690367 and exponent k = 12398737. Break the code and decipher the message.
