CNS PROBLEMS
1. Apply Caesar cipher and k=4 encrypt the given plain text “cryptography and network
security”.
2. Formulate caeser cipher for the cipher Text: PHHW PH DIWHU WKH WRJD SDUWB
to identify the plain text with the default key K=3.
3. Encrypting the message “knowledge is power” using mono alphabetic cipher. Using the
keyword “Kryptos”.
4. Problem 3.9 ( Page:109, 8th Edition)
5. Problem 3.10 ( Page:109)
6. Problem 3.11 ( Page:109)
7. Encrypt the following using the play fair cipher using the keyword MONARCHY.
“SWARAJ IS MY BIRTH RIGHT”. Use X for blank spaces.
8. Problem 3.14 ( Page:110)
9. Problem 3.17. a ( Page:110)
10. Problem 3.18. a ( Page:110)
11. Problem 3.19 ( Page:110)
12. Determine the key matrix of size 2 x 2 from the encrypted message “HCRZSSXNSP” of
the plain text “hillcipher”.
13. Encrypt the plaintext “cryptography and network security” with a rail fence of depth (i) 2
(ii) 3 (iii) 4.
14. let’s consider the plaintext “This is a secret message”. Using Rail Fence Cipher, find out
the ciphertext for key values (a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 4
15. Encrypt the message “cryptography and network security” using (i) one stage Columnar
Transposition (ii) two stage Columnar Transposition for key 43125.
16. Encrypt the message “Geeks for Geeks” using Columnar Transposition technique.
Consider the key as “HACK”.
