# Challenge 6: Digital Signature Forgery **Level:** Advanced **Description:** Provide a digital signature scheme with a weakness (e.g., using a small prime number). Forge a digital signature for a new message. **Challenge Text:** ``` Signature scheme: RSA with n = 391, e = 3, d = 107 Signed message: ("HELLO", signature = 220) Challenge: Forge a signature for the message "WORLD" ``` **Instructions:** 1. Understand the weakness in the provided RSA signature scheme. 2. Forge a signature for the new message. 3. Validate the forged signature. **Answer:** For the message "WORLD," a forged signature could be 115. **Code:** ```python n = 391 e = 3 message = "WORLD" # Compute numeric representation of message message_numeric = sum([ord(c) * (256 ** i) for i, c in enumerate(message[::-1])]) # Compute forged signature forged_signature = message_numeric ** e % n print("Forged signature:", forged_signature) ```
