Suppose Bob receives a PGP message from Alice. If Bob receives a message, how does he know it was delivered by Alice and not, say, Trudy? Does PGP use a message authentication code (MAC)?
Alice sends a message to Bob. The message is encrypted for confidentiality.
Charlie "hacks" a router in the path between Alice's and Bob's computers.
Charlie can see the message Alice sent, but cannot "break" the encryption.
Briefly explain how Charlie can attempt a replay attack in this scenario.
Alice uses a shift cipher with a shift of 4 to encrypt her message to Bob. If the
ciphertext she obtains is "ksshpygo", what is her message in plaintext?

- Alice sets up an RSA public/private key, but instead of using two primes, she chooses three primes p, q, and r and she uses n=pqr as her RSA-style modulus. She chooses an encryption exponent e and calculates a decryption exponent d. Encryption and Decryption are defined: C ≡ me mod n and m ≡ Cd mod n where C is the ciphertext corresponding to the message m. Decryption: de ≡ 1 mod φ(n) | Let p = 5, q = 7, r = 3, e = 11, and the decryption exponent d = -13. n = 105 & φ(n) = 48 Q: Alice upgrades to three primes that are each 200 digits long.

- Alice encrypts a message using AES, and sends the ciphertext to Bob. Unfortunately, during the calculation of the third block, a lightning struck Alice’s house, corrupting the 2nd bit of the AES output (for the third block).

They communicate regularly using authenticated, confidential messages. Eve wants to read the messages but is unable to crack the RSA private keys of Alice and Bob.

How should Eve alter that file so that she can read confidential messages sent between Alice and Bob, and forge messages from either? How might Alice and/or Bob detect Eve's subversion of the public keys?arrow_forward
