The course cannot be completed due to the incorrect grading system "Final Project Submission: Implementation of Cryptographic Techniques for DataSafe Bank". I flagged the issue and wrote a message in the forums for module 4, but so far there is no response. I wasted several days trying to defeat a non-working system, it is very sad ((((
