A Man-in-the-Middle attack can be successfully performed on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol in which the adversary generates two public-private key pairs for the attack. Could the same attack be accomplished with one pair? Justify and explain with detailed steps of the scenario.

Recall that in regular DES, 8 bits of the initial 64-bit key are thrown away, so that the actual encryption only proceeds with the remaining 56 bits and so that an attacker Oscar really only needs those 56 bits to reveal the plaintext. (That is, even though the true keyspace has size 2^64, the keyspace for the keys actually used has size 2^56.) Discuss then whether beginning with a 64-bit key has any merit and if Oscar can simply skip the PC-1 step of DES entirely in carrying out a brute force attack.
A good block cipher has a 64-bit block size and uses 50-bit keys. How can we convert that in to a strong block cipher with brute force strength of 2^150?
Suppose a public-key cryptosystem encrypts integers (say, modulo another integer n). Show that if this scheme has the property that Dec(Enc(x) · Enc(y)) = x + y for any messages x, y, then the scheme is necessarily vulnerable to a CCA2 attack.
In RSA, suppose p = 3, q = 11, e = 7, and d = 3. Given the message m = 5, show the encryption process to obtain the ciphertext c from m and the decryption process to derive m back from c.
The hacker group Desdeia tries to break our old weak cipher which we used for the communication with the Duchess of Ligovia. It's generally known that an actual breaking of the cipher needs the reviewing a huge amount of variants which probably lasts a couple of months. Additionally we know that the reviewing of different variants needs always the same server resource. Using our intelligence sources we tried to get some information about the actual progress of breaking, but we got only some fragments: • The hacker group Desdeia uses for breaking their powerful four-core server which resources are fully dedicated to breaking process. . The actual breaking process began exactly at noon, but we don't know, on which day. . By the noon of 2nd of April, already 648,467,673 variants were successfully reviewed. Exactly at this noon, when the breaking process was already lasted for 19 days, it was attempted to double the server speed. The doubling itself was failed, but instead of it there was…
A secure email system is expected to provide confidentiality, sender's non-repudiation, and message integrity. Alice uses three keys to achieve this goal. The three keys are Alice's private key (KA), Bob's public key (Kg), and a randomly generated symmetric key (Ks). The encryption procedure is shown below: How can Bob 1) decrypt the data, 2) verify the message's integrity, and 3) verify the sender's non-repudiation? Describe the detailed steps (including the formulas) and show your work. KA m H(-) KA( m I am using SHA-256 KA(H(M)) Ks() KB(*) K Ks K.(m, KA(H(m)) + + KB(Ks) Internet 34
Suppose we have an alphabet of 30 characters, labelled as the integers modulo 30. Suppose that a 2 × 2 affine shift cipher is used to encode a message and it is known that the translation vector B is (0,0). The cipher text comes along as "21, 2, 13, 3, 14, 7, 0, 15,..." and you figure out through some other means that the plaintext starts "15, 16, 1, 1, plaintext? ." What is the encryption key? What are the next four digits of the ....

Consider the affine cipher f(p) = 3p+4 (mod 26), where p is the plaintext representation of the character under consideration. For example the plaintext of the letter A is 0, B is 1, C is 2, ... Z is 25. Use this cipher to encrypt the letters I, N, G, R (changing the numbers back to letters at the end.
The definition of a Shift Cipher can be expressed as follows:Def. Let x, y, k ∈ Z26 with the encryption operation as ek(x) ≡ x + k mod 26 and thedecryption operation as dk(y) ≡ y - k mod 26.Given the provided letter encoding, what would be the encoding of the plaintext word ATTACKafter applying a shift cipher with a k=17?
Show that decryption in a Feistel cipher can be done by applying the encryption algorithm to the ciphertext, with key schedule reversed.
Consider a very simple symmetric block encryption algorithm in which 32-bits blocks of plaintext are encrypted using a 64-bit key. Encryption is defined as C = (PK₁) K₁ where C = ciphertext, K = secret key, Ko = leftmost 64 bits of K, K₁ = rightmost 64 bits of K,+ = bitwise exclusive OR, and is addition mod 264. a. Show the decryption equation. That is, show the equation for P as a function of C, Ko, and K₁. b. Suppose and adversary has access to two sets of plaintexts and their correspond- ing ciphertexts and wishes to determine K. We have the two equations: C = (PK) K₁; C = (PK) K₁ First, derive an equation in one unknown (e.g., Ko). Is it possible to proceed fur- ther to solve for Ko?
