Crypto QB Module 1, 2

This document contains a question bank on cryptography topics including classical encryption techniques, public key cryptography, and RSA. It includes questions about cryptographic concepts like plaintext, ciphertext, encryption, decryption, and cryptanalysis. It also includes questions about specific classical techniques like the Caesar cipher, polyalphabetic ciphers, the Playfair cipher, and stream vs block ciphers. For public key cryptography, it covers the RSA algorithm, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, and applications of public key systems. Many questions ask to perform encryption or decryption using RSA with given parameters or explain the mathematical foundations and workings of RSA.
