Considering the power of the attackers in KPA, CPA, and CCA assumptions(given in the lecture slides of week 1a), define the KPA-Game, CPA-Game, CCA-Game and the associated computational indistinguishable definition under these attack games.
Note, computational indistinguishability under CPA-Game is the minimum requirement for message confidentiality in real applications. And once again, we write computational indistinguishable under KPA-Game, CPA-Game, CCA-Game as KPA-IND, CPA-IND, and CCA-IND, respectively

Context: Muskogee County Choppers, till recently was a small ‘custom’ motorcycle/chopper production unit, designing and manufacturing custom motorcycles and trikes for a small regional market, mainly Oklahoma and Arkansas. The firm has seen an infusion of capital from a group of rich ‘angel investors’ who had a love for motorcycling. The firm is ‘small’ and even after innovation, capital infusion and growth will in no way match the major players like Harley, Honda, Kawasaki etc. Further, ‘trikes’ unlike motorcycles may be considered a ‘niche’ rather than mass market product.
With this infusion of capital, MCC is now a LLC (Limited Liability Company) and plans to make a foray into major markets, at least catering to Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas , Oklahoma, and New Mexico, starting with a ‘trike’ to compete with the Polaris Spyder or CANAM-Ryker. The MCC Trike is similar, with two front wheels and one rear wheel. It is 500cc, in contrast with other trikes that are normally with higher capacity engines (900 cc +). The Canam Ryker and Polaris Spyder are also like the MCC trike, in that they have two front and one rear wheel, unlike Harley trikes etc that have one front wheel and two rear wheels.
MCC is a new company and even with an infusion of capital from angel investors cannot compete with the financial strength of companies like Harley and Honda.

Airnova Inc. has two types of bonds, Bond D and Bond F. Both have 8 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond D has 2 years to maturity. Bond F has 15 years to maturity. Airnova Inc. is considering four different types of stocks. They each have a required return of 20 percent and a dividend of $3.75 for share.
