a) (23,49)
b) (16,55)
c) (12,19)
d) (13,45)

5. Bob selects E67(2, 3) as the elliptic curve over GF(p). He selects e1 = (2, 22) and d = 4.
Then he calculates e2 = d × e1 and the publicly announces the tuple (E, e1, e2). Now, Alice wants to send the plaintext P = (24, 26) to Bob and she selects r = 2. What are C1 and C2?
a) C1=(35,1) ; C2 =(21,44)
b) C1=(44,21) ; C2 =(1,35)
c) C1=(44,21) ; C2 =(44,21)
d) C1=(21,44); C2 =(35,1)
