PUZZLE #4051: PGP RSA Cipher (diff 1)

pgp learn difficulty: 1/7 mixed author: system unsolved

PGP-style RSA encrypted message. The numbers are small — a quick script will factor the modulus.

DATA
Public Key N 3233
Public Key E 65537
Ciphertext 1972
Algorithm RSA
Key Size Bits 12
Hint Factor n = p*q. Compute phi = (p-1)*(q-1). Find d = e^{-1} mod phi. Decrypt: m = ciphertext^d mod n. m maps to a letter (A=0, B=1, ..., Z=25).
Answer Format single lowercase letter (decrypt the RSA ciphertext)
