A stаrtup QuickE designed аn encryptiоn scheme QuickE fоr аpplicatiоns where messages never repeat. Therefore QuickE uses the deterministic and stateless ECB mode (where each block of the message is simply encrypted with the underlying blockcipher). QuickE claims that their protocol is secure against the modified IND-CPA definition, IND-DCPA, which is tailored for the applications with distinct messages.  IND-DCPA is like IND-CPA, but the adversary is not allowed to query equal messages at any point. I.e., if and  are any two left-right encryption queries made by the attacker, then all these messages must be distinct.  Prove that QuickE scheme is not IND-DCPA. For simplicity assume that the message space of QuickE is the set of bitstrings, whose length is multiple of , where is the block length of the underlying blockcipher , which is a secure PRF.
