Using subroutines from the Sage example code for Simplified DES, write a function to compute Simplified DES Decrypt.

  1. Let temp_block denote a Sage variable that contains the output of the first application of function fK (f_K in the Sage example code) while encrypting with Simplified DES.  Using subroutines from the example sage Code, write sage code to recover the input block passed to Simplifed DES Decrypt.  Meaning reverse the first steps in Simplified DES Encrypt. You may assume that you have the first round key in a variable K1.
  2. Using subroutines from the Sage example code for Simplified DES, write a function to compute Simplified DES Decrypt.

Provide a brief analysis of the work of art using the questions art historians ask and the words art historians use. Consider the media (materials), methods, subjects of the work of art, and the reflections of the region and Contemporary Art movement.

How do the political, philosophical, religious, and social contexts impact the art of today? How does Contemporary Art differ from Baroque Art, which you studied earlier in this course?

Now that you have seen how art evolves over time and throughout history, reflect upon how your interpretation of art has changed since you examined the A Fall with the Rebel Angels in the “Post Your Introduction” discussion in Week 1. What differences are there between the ways you interpreted that work of art in Week 1 to your interpretation now? How will these changes impact the way you view art moving forward?
