Homework Statement
Given the following key, find two plaintext pairs that encrypt to the same ciphertext.
[itex]\begin{pmatrix}
9 & 5 \\
7 & 3 \\
\end{pmatrix} (mod \ 26)
[/itex]
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Let the two plaintext pairs be (a, b) and (c, d). Let the ciphertext be (X, Y)
9a + 7b = X mod 26
9c + 7d = X mod 26
5a +3b = Y mod 26
5c + 3d = Y mod 26
I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
