3.7 Suppose the DES F function mapped every 32-bit input R, regardless of the value of the input K, to
a. 32-bit string of ones,
b. bitwise complement of R.
Hint: Use the following properties of the XOR operation:
1. What function would DES then compute?
What would the decryption look like?

where
A, B, C are n-bit strings of bits
0 is an n-bit string of zeros
1 is an n-bit string of one
