Alice and bob agree to use the prime p = 1373 and the base g = 2 for a diffie–hellman key exchange. alice sends bob the value a = 974. bob asks your assistance, so you tell him to use the secret exponent b = 871. what value b should bob send to alice, and what is their secret shared value? can you figure out alice’s secret exponent?

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
