For part (a), decrypting the ciphertext using the Toy block cipher: Ciphertext: `101000111001` Key: `101010010` Step 1: Split the ciphertext into blocks The Toy block cipher typically uses 6-bit blocks. So: `101000` | `111001` Step 2: Apply the key Toy block cipher decryption usually involves XORing the ciphertext with the key (or subkeys derived from it). We will assume direct XOR with key for this single-round example. Key (9 bits): `101010010` → split into 6-bit blocks for XOR: Block 1 key: `101010` Block 2
