Suppose that plaintext message units are digraphs in the ordinary 26-letter alphabet, where (as usual) A-Z corresponds to 0-25. We represent each digraph ij as an integer in the following way: (26 · i) + j: For example, the digraph "IN" is represented as 26 · 8 + 13 = 221: You receive the sequence of ciphertext message units, 5809; 7565; 7730; 3226; 10096; 6484; 8364; 9043; 9552; 5072 which were encrypted using a Merkle-Hellman knapsack system. (Each unit is the encryption of a digraph, and hence represents two plaintext letters.) The private key for the system is
