    The document discusses a case study on symmetric encryption. It begins with true/false questions about cryptography knowledge in IT occupations, the premise of cryptography being reliable encryption, the difference between the Vernam stream cipher and one-time pad, details of the DES algorithm, and documenting cryptography in the SDLC. It then asks how an organization would generate keys for symmetric algorithms and explains symmetric authentication involves the same key being used for encryption and decryption.

    Symmetric Encryption Case Study

    1. True/False Questions
    i.True or False?
    For most information technology occupations, knowledge of cryptography is a large
    part of a broader skill set and is generally limited to relevant applications.
    ii. True or False?
    Cryptography is built on one overarching premise: the need for a cipher that can be
    used reliably and portably to encrypt text so that through any means of cryptanalysis
    (differential, deductive, algebraic, or the like) the ciphertext can be undone with any
    available technology.
    iii. True or False?
    In effect, the Vernam stream cipher and “one-time pad” ciphers are different; in fact,
    Vernam later coinvented it.
    iv. True or False?
    DES used a 64-bit block cipher combined with a mode of operation based on cipher-
    block chaining (CBC) called the Feistel function.
    v. True or False?
    The cryptography selection process is documented in the system development life
    cycle (SDLC) model.

    2. Problema
    How would an organization go about generating keys for symmetric key algorithms?
    Give any ideas!

    3. What is the meaning of symmetric authentication? Explain the detailed process!
