3.​ List the various other techniques used historically for steganography.
4.​ What is symmetric key encryption?
5.​ Compare DES and AES
6.​ Determine the GCD of (1970,1066) using Euclid’s algorithm
7.​ Write about cryptanalysis?
8.​ Define Diffusion & Confusion.
9.​ What is computer security?
10.​Define Reversible mapping.
11.​Elucidate Multiple Encryptions.
12.​What are the design parameters of the Feistel cipher network?

PART B

1.​ Explain in detail about various Mechanisms provided by X.800.


2.​ Discuss with a neat sketch a network security model.
3.​ Write about key distribution in detail.
4.​ Explain the block cipher modes of operation.
5.​ With the increasing adoption of cloud storage services, users are concerned about
the confidentiality and integrity of their data stored remotely. Explain how modern
symmetric encryption techniques, such as AES and RC4, and cryptographic
models are applied to secure data in cloud environments. Discuss how
pseudorandom number generators and key management play a role in this context.
6.​ In electronic voting systems (E-Voting), ensuring secure transmission
7.​ and storage of votes is critical. Describe how the OSI Security Architecture, along
with cryptographic mechanisms like symmetric encryption, substitution
techniques, and modular arithmetic, can be used to secure an E-Voting system.
Evaluate how cryptanalysis can be used to test the strength of the implemented
encryption methods.
8.​ Explain OSI security architecture model with neat diagram
9.​ Perform encryption and decryption using Hill cipher for the following: Message
PEN and key ACTIVATED
10.​Describe the working principle of simple DES with an example.
11.​Discuss the properties that are to be satisfied by groups, rings and fields
12.​In the context of online banking systems, explain how classical encryption
techniques and modern cryptographic principles are to ensure secure
communication between clients and servers. Discuss the relevance of substitution
and transposition techniques, perfect secrecy, and cryptanalysis in designing a
secure system.
13.​Military-grade communication systems require high levels of confidentiality and
integrity. Analyze how symmetric key Cryptography, including DES and AES,
along with number theory concepts such as modular arithmetic and finite fields,
are used to develop secure military communication protocols. Also, discuss the
challenges involved in key distribution.
