CRYPTOGRAPHY AND NETWORK SECURITY
(Common to Computer Science and Engineering and Information Technology)
Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 70
Question paper consists of Part-A and Part-B
Answer ALL sub questions from Part-A
Answer any FOUR questions from Part-B
*****

PART–A (14 Marks)


1. a) Explain the four main groups of Cryptographic algorithms and protocols. [2]
b) Explain the encryption and decryption. [2]
c) What is the difference between an index and a discrete logarithm? [2]
d) What are some threats associated with a direct digital signature scheme? [2]
e) Why does PGP generate a signature before applying compression? Explain. [3]
f) Explain the difference between transport mode and tunnel mode. [3]
PART–B (4x14 = 56 Marks)
2. a) Discuss the types of security threats and attacks that must be dealt with and give [7]
examples of the types of threats and attacks that apply to different categories of
computer and network assets.
b) Explain about Caesar Cipher and Mono alphabetic Ciphers [7]

3. a) It is possible to use a hash function to construct a block cipher with a structure [7]
similar to DES. Because a hash function is one way and a block cipher must be
reversible (to decrypt), how is it possible?.
b) Explain the four transformations used in AES. [7]

4. a) Present an overview of the basic principles of public-key cryptosystems. [7]


b) Present an overview of the RSA algorithm. [7]

5. a) Explain about the Digital Signature process. [7]


b) Explain about the Key Management. [7]

6. a) List the parameters that define an SSL session state and explain the services [7]
provided by the SSL record protocol.
b) Explain the five principle services provided by PGP (Pretty Good Privacy). [7]

7. a) What are IPsec functional areas? Explain the IPsec key management.. [7]
b) Discuss the alternatives for combining security associations. [7]
