Suppose Bob joins a BitTorrent torrent, but he does not want to upload any data to any other peers (so called free-riding). a. Bob claims that he can receive a complete copy of the file that is shared by the swarm. Is Bob's claim possible? Why or why not? b. Bob further claims that he can further make his "free-riding" more efficient by using a collection of multiple computers (with distinct IP addresses) in the computer lab in his department. How can he do that?

Note: The notation from this problem is from Understanding Cryptography by Paar and Pelzl. We conduct a known-plaintext attack against an LFSR. Through trial and error we have determined that the number of states is m = 4. The plaintext given by 01110010 = 0X1X2X3X4X5X6X7 when encrypted by the LFSR produced the ciphertext 11000011 = YOY1Y2Y3Y3Y5Y6Y7- What are the tap bits of the LFSR? Please enter your answer as unspaced binary digits (e.g. 0101 to represent p3 = 0, p2 = 1, p1 = 0, po = 1).

Ahmed is using a brute-force attack to decrypt a message between two teachers, which means that:
Suppose Bob would enter a BitTorrent torrent, but he will not send data to any other colleagues (so called free-riding). A. Bob says he will get a full copy of the swarm file. Is it feasible for Bobs to claim? Whether or why not? Why not? b. Bob also argues that he will further improve his "free-riding" by utilizing a machine lab set of many machines (including distinct IP addresses) in his agency. How can he? How can he manage this?
Your company is building a computer network, and you are asked to write an algorithm for achieving distributed mutual exclusion. Which scheme will you use? Explain your choice.
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.
Suppose the public parameters for an instance of the RSA cryptosystem are N = 6767 and e = 7. Encrypt the messagez = 6105. Encrypt the message z = 5329.
- Consider another carelessly written Web application, which uses a servlet that checks if there was an active session, but does not check if the user is authorized to access that page, instead depending on the fact that a link to the page is shown only to authorized users. What is the risk with this scheme? (There was a real instance where applicants to a college admissions site could, after logging into the Web site, exploit this loophole and view information they were not authorized to see; the unauthorized access was however detected, and those who accessed the information were punished by being denied admission.)

Consider a new colleague.Alice who joins BitTorrent but does not have any piecesShe can't become a top-four uploader for any of the other peers if she doesn't have any chunks to post.So, how will Alice receive her first bite?
Approximately how many bits of entropy does a password consisting of five random English words have?
Suppose we have a very short secret s (e.g., a single bit or even a Social Security number), and we wish to send someone else a message m now that will not reveals but that can be used later to verify that we did know s. Explain why m = MD5(s) or m = E(s) with RSA encryption would not be secure choices, and suggest a better choice.
