Re: Confirmation of Shannon's Mistake about Perfect Secrecy of One-time-pad


how you can compute, how can you find the probability M not changed.
do not just the the result ,that is useless.

Compute the joint probability of M, K and C
(use the known probability distribtuions of M and K
the fact that M and K are independent, and the formula
for getting C from M and K)

Assume C fixed. Two cases.

For each case note the value of C and compute
the conditional probability of M using the known
joint probability of M, K and C and the definition
of conditional probability.

In both cases you get the same probability
distribution for M

a change in form but not in content,you just use the probability when
c is not fixed.
