First off, I'm extremely sorry if this comes off as a "homework dump", but to clarify, it isn't. I don't want the answer, I want to know how to get to the answer. My cryptography professor gave us an assignment to do, and without explaining this concept, he believes we all understand how to do it, and I definitely don't.
The problem is in two parts:
The one-time pad encryption of the message
attack at dawn
is6c73d5240a948c86981bc294814d
(the plaintext letters are encoded as 8-bit ASCII and the given ciphertext is written in hexadecimal) What would be the one time pad encryption of the messageattack at dusk
under the same OTP key?The one-time pad encryption of the message
attack at dusk

(the plaintext letters are encoded as 8-bit ASCII and the given ciphertext is written in hexadecimal) What would be the one time pad encryption of the messageattack at noon
under the same OTP key?
Thanks for any/all help
