    Alice wants to send you her secret flag and asks you to generate a shared secret with her. She also tells you she will be using the NIST standard:

    g: 2

    You receive the following integer from Alice:

    You then generate your secret integer and calculate your public one, which you send to Alice.

    Individually you each use the shared secret to derive an AES private key. This allows you to encrypt large amounts of data over your channel without needing to exchange keys again.

    Alice sends you the following IV and ciphertext:

    {'iv': '737561146ff8194f45290f5766ed6aba', 'encrypted_flag': '39c99bf2f0c14678d6a5416faef954b5893c316fc3c48622ba1fd6a9fe85f3dc72a29c394cf4bc8aff6a7b21cae8e12c'}

    Decrypt this to obtain your flag!

    The decrypt.py script is provided to help you here and on future challenges too.

    Challenge files:

      - decrypt.py

    You must be logged in to submit your flag.
