Explanation of Solution
Right of individuals to make alterations:
“No”, the individual person has no right to decrypt the internal structure of a product.
Reason:
A company when develops a new product or system then the company patents it. Patent is the right permitted by the government to the inventor to protect his original work of creation from duplication for a limited time. Any other person cannot use, modify, develop, or sell the creation without the permission of the original creator.
When a company develops a product whose internal structure is encrypted and patents it then it is illegal to make any alteration or modification and distribution of the product even if the person buys the product.
An individual has no right to make any modifications in the product which is developed by other person or company.
Right of individuals to use a company’s product information for commercial manner:
“No”, an individual has no right to use company’s product information in a commercial manner.
Reason:
When a company develops a product and patents it then it is illegal to use and distribute the product without the consent of the owner. An individual in any case, has no right to use the company’s product for commercial purpose.
A person has no right to use the product of a company for commercial purpose, only the company has the right to take decision...

Computer Science: An Overview (12th Edition)
- Suppose you were given a number of different ciphertexts and you are told that they are each encryptions of plaintexts using a Caesar cipher-type encryption but with different keys and different plaintext languages from around the world. You are asked to try to work out the most likely language of each ciphertext. Explain how you would approach this problem.arrow_forwardIn a system an RSA algorithm with p=5 and q=11, is implemented for data security. What is the value of the decryption key if the value of the encryption key is 27?arrow_forwardQuestion 1 Study the scenario and complete the question(s) that follow: Ceasar Cipher The Caesar Cipher technique is one of the earliest and simplest method of encryption technique. It's simply a type of substitution cipher, i.e., each letter of a given text is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example with a shift of 1, A would be replaced by B, B would become C, and so on. The method is apparently named after Julius Caesar, who apparently used it to communicate with his officials. 1.1 Write a Ceasar cipher algorithm in such a way that a character D is changed to N. Derive the encryption of the other characters accordingly. 1.2 Based on your algorithm, what will be the encrypted code of the message “my mother is not home". End of Question 1arrow_forward
- Computer Science Based on DES, find the ciphertext if the shared key is "SECURITY" and the output of round 15 is "IT? 7b/".arrow_forwardUse the two prime numbers p = 5 and q =13 in the first step to give ONE integrated example to show how the five steps in the basic process of RSA Cryptography works. Based on your example, demonstrate how the number 60 as an original message is encrypted into ciphertext and decrypted back correctly to the original message. If you need to choose a number in any step, you must choose it from the set {x e R: 8 s x< 12}. You must show all detailed steps involved.arrow_forwardConsider the RSA encryption algorithm with p = 59, q = 47, e = 15. 1. What is the public key? 2. What is the private key?arrow_forward
- Exercise 1 (The RSA basics ( Alice forms a public key for the "textbook" RSA public-key encryption and signature schemes, choosing N = 1073 and e = 715. 1. Encrypt the message M = 3 for Alice. 2. What is Alice's private key, and how does she use it for decrypting the received ciphertext? 3. Generate a signature on the message M = 1234567 using the following simple hash function H: {0, 1} ZN such that H(M)= 3M + 5 (mod N). 4. Verify that the signature you generated in the previous step is a valid signature.arrow_forwardFor practical encryption that involves secret message transmission from Alice to Bob, why is the message encrypted with the shared symmetric key rather than Bob's public key? What is the significance of using Bob's public key to encrypt the shared symmetric key?arrow_forwardIs it possible to generate secure secret keys for use in cryptographic protocols by means of software running on a desktop computer and using those keys?arrow_forward
- Alice and Bob are using the EIGamal cipher with the parameters p = 53 and a = 2. Alice makes the mistake of using the same ephemeral key for two plaintexts, x1 and x2. The eavesdropper Eve suspects that x1 = 5. She sees the two ciphertexts y1 = 41 and y2 = 47 in transit; these are the encryptions of x1 and a2, respectively. a) What is the masking key kM? b) What is the plaintext x2?arrow_forwardAlice and Bod have decided to use a symmetric encryption algorithm. They have some assumptions about their messages:- Messages only contain capital letters (i.e. A to Z)- The length of their shared key must be greater than or equal to the length of the plaintext- They assign each letter a number as follows: (A,0), (B,1), (C,2), (D,3),…, (Z,25)Their algorithm combines the key and the message using modular addition. The numerical values of corresponding message and key letters are added together, modulo 26. For example, if the plain text is “HELLO” and the key is “SECRET” then the encrypted message is calculated as following:Since the length of the plaintext is 5, we just need the first 5 letters of the key (i.e. “SECRE”), then for each letter, we should add corresponding letters in both the plaintext and the key modulo 26.Plaintext: H (7) E (4) L (11) L (11) O (14)Key: S (18) E (4) C (2) R (17) E(4)Cipher: Z (25) I (8) N(13) C(2) S (18) Write a program in Python, C/C++ or JavaScript to…arrow_forwardExplain Thwarting Output-Guessing Attacks in Logic Encryption.arrow_forward
