What is the ciphertext in binary form generated by the


A particular cipher is implemented by combining the ASCII representation of plaintext characters with pseudorandom bytes (eight-bit binary strings of 1s and 0s) using the XOR function. (i.e,, C = P XOR Key). This process can be expanded to double-XOR or even triple-XOR (i.e., C = P XOR K1 XOR K2). Assume that the two pseudorandom bytes are 10110101 (K1) and 01110010 (K2) and the double-XOR is used,.
