Q. Suppose that plaintext message units are single letters in the usual 26-letter alphabet with A-Z corresponding to 0-25. You receive the sequence of ciphertext message units 14, 25, 89. The public key is the sequence {57, 14, 3, 24, 8} and the secret key is b = 23, m = 61.
Decipher the message. The Plain text is
