Shared session key establishment using a Key Distribution Center (KDC). Using the following table, illustrate how Alice can initiate a secure session with Bob with the help of KDC. Here, KEKs are the long term key establishment keys used to transport the session keys across the network securely. Assume the encryption process to be as follows: Divide the key into two halves: LK and RK; Divide the plaintext into two halves: LT and RT; Then ciphertext= LC||RC where LC=LK XOR RT; and RC = RK XOR LT; where LC, RC, LT, and RT are each 4 bits; Plaintext and ciphertext are each 8 bits. For example, if plaintext=A7 (Hexa) and Key = 6D; then LC=6 ⊕ 7 = 0110 ⊕ 0111 = 0001 = 1 (Hexa); and RC = D ⊕ A = 1101 ⊕ 1010 = 0111 = 7 (Hexa); so Ciphertext = 17 (Hexa). To decryptt, it does the reverse operation: Given ciphertext of C=LC||RC, it finds plaintext T=LT||RT, by finding LT=RC ⊕ RK and RT = LC

In the above example, LT = 7 ⊕D = 0111⊕1101=1010=A; RT=1 ⊕ 6 = 0001 ⊕ 0110 = 0111=7; So Plaintext=A7 (Hexa).
b. Alice and Bob now decide to use Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange (DHKE) (p. 343) with certificates. Both Alice and Bob agree on p=17 and α=4. Alice chooses a=5 and Bob chooses b=3. Answer the following.
-
- What is the public key generated by Alice?
- What is the public key generated by Bob?
- What is the computed shared key by Alice?
- What is the computed shared key by Bob?
c. Man-in-the-middle attack when Alice and Bob employ Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Here, Carol is the intruder. Compute and complete the unknown entries in the exchanges shown below.
![Alice

Bob
KEK: kA = CD (hexa)
KEK: kA = CD (hexa); kg = F1(hexa);
КЕК: kв 3D F1 (hexa);
Alice sends a message to KDC requesting a session key between Alice and Bob
KDC Generates a random session key: kses = B4 (hexa);
YA = ekA(kses) = ??
YB = ekB(kses) = ??
KDC sends yA = ?? to Alice
KDC send yB = ?? to Bob
Děcrypt yA to derive kses using kA = ??
Decrypt yB to derive kses using kg = ??
Message to send,m = E6 (Hexa)
Encrypyt m using session key,
y = ekses(m) = ??
Alice sends y = ?? to Bob
Decrypt y using session key to get m = ??
Verify that this is the message sent by Alice](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa124edfc-6a79-4450-9c47-a7b22302255e%2F7d766ccd-1da4-492c-8da0-e12c923fd58c%2F3c31wze_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
