ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS-1

1. Using this Playfair matrix M F H I/J K U N O P Q Z V W X Y E L A R G D S T B C encrypt this message:

“mustseeyou”

2. This problem explores the use of a one-time pad version of the Vigenère cipher. In this scheme, the key is a stream of
random numbers between 0 and 26. For example, if the key is 3 19 5 ..., then the first letter of plaintext is encrypted with a
shift of 3 letters, the second with a shift of 19 letters, the third with a shift of 5 letters, and so on. Encrypt the
plaintext “sendmoremoney” with the key stream 9 0 1 7 23 15 21 14 11 11 2 8 9.

3. Using Rail fence technique,

encrypt the plain text “postponeattacktilllnotice” using 3 rows.

4. What are the differences between DES and AES?

5. Encrypt using RSA algorithm : p = 3; q = 11, e = 7; M = 5

ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS-2

Why PGP does generate a signature before applying compression?
