PART B & PART CS

1. Let Message “GRADUATE’, key “WORD” Find cipher text using playfair cipher.
2. Encryption and Decryption process in hill cipher m=”sh” and key=”hill”.
3. Play fair cipher encrypt “SEMESTER RESULT” Keyword “EXAMINATION”
4. Using Playfair cipher encrypt the following messge “SWARAJ IS MY BIRTH RIGHT” Key
“MONARCHY”.
5. Define OSI Security Architecture (13)
6. Define Substitution and Transposition techniques (13)
7. Evaluate characteristics of modern cryptography and working principle.
8. Encrypt the message “PAY” using hill cipher with the following key matrix and show the
decryption to get original plain text. K = 17 17 5
21 18 21
2 2 19
9. Perform encryption and decryption using hill cipher for the following message “PEN” and
key: “ACTIVATED”
