SECTION-II Descriptive

1 In case of an insecure communication medium, how does Bob and Alice will securely share the key
without sharing actual key.

Determine the proper algorithm and calculate the shared secret of Bob and Alice. Consider prime q=71
and a primitive root a=7.

If User Bob and Alice has private key 5 and 12 then calculate A's public key and B's public key.

2 Bob Calculates the public key elements by choosing prime number q=19 using Elgamal cryptosystem.

What are the values of other parameters such as α & Ya? After getting all public components,

Bob broadcasts public key to Alice. Alice performs the encryption by choosing message, M=10.

Calculate the cipher texts performed by Alice. The private component of Bob and Alice are 4 and 6
respectively.

3 Draw and Explain symmetric key distribution scenario

4 Draw digital signature process and explain essential element of it.

5 Generate the 2 key of SDES using Key generation algorithm and using that sub key encrypt the
following data. Let the plaintext be the string 01110010 Let the 10-bit key be 1010000010.

6. Explain detailed Structure of AES with its four Transformation.

8. Use a Hill Cipher to encipher the message “We live in an insecure world” use the following key:

K=|3 2|

|5 7|
