Signed, Sandra.”Sandra filed suit against Janet, MBT and the government of the Cayman Islands, claimingthat the message was a forgery, sent by Janet herself and asking for triple damages forpain and suffering.MBT filed a countersuit against Sandra, claiming that all procedureswere followed properly and that Sandra is filing a nuisance suit.You are called in as anexpert witness on the cryptographic issues of the case.Explain to the Court:What can be determined from the facts as presented about whether Sandra intended tomake Janet a gift of $1,000,000.What is a plausible explanation of what may have happened in this case?Assuming MBT wishes to continue using 3DES as its cryptographic system, explain whatMBT and Sandra could have done to protect against this controversy arising.Please Note:It is notrequired in this paper to provide a detailed explanation of the 3DESencryption algorithm.
