C. In the first step in the function F of the DES encryption, the 32-bit right side
is expanded in an expansion permutation to get a 48-bit output. Use the
expansion permutation below on the message :
R2= 0110 1001 0111 1010 1011 0010 1010 1110

Answer (binary): 001101 010010 101111 110101 010110 100101 010101 011100

D. In the step of creating the sub key for the 4th round, C3 and D3 will be shifted
to the left. Find the result of C4 and D4.

C3 = 1001110010101010111100001111
D3 = 1101111010010101100110011111

C4= 0111001010101011110000111110
D4= 0111101001010110011001111111

Question 3:
A. Encrypt the following message “HI” By Using RSA algorithm.
Assume that P = 11 and Q = 13., and e= 3

C(H)= 7^3 mod 143

= 343 mod 143

= 343 / 143 = 2.39

= 2 * 143 = 286

= 343 – 286 = 57

C(I)= 8^3 mod 143

= 512 mod 143

= 512 / 143 = 3.58

= 3 * 143 = 429

= 512 – 429 = 83

B. Alice and Bob exchange a shift cipher key using the Diffie-Hellman key
exchange. They agree to use the prime p = 11 and g = 7
(a) Assume Alice uses the secret value a = 6 and Bob the secret value b = 9.
Compute the intermediate values and the final key that Alice and Bob exchange

Alice= g^a mod p Bob= g^b mod p

= 7^6 mod 11 = 7^9 mod 11

=823543 mod 11 = 40353607 mod 11

=823543 / 11 = 74867 = 40353607 / 11 = 3668509.73

=74867 * 11 = 823537 = 3668509 * 11 = 40353599

=823543 – 823537 = 6 =40353607 – 40353599 = 8

Symmetric key K = 8^6 mod 11 = 3 symmetric key K = 6^9 mod 11 = 2

GOOD LUCK
