Learning Module 7 Assignment 14: Encryption

1. Hack the Password. Go to the website and try out your password to see how strong it is.
This site assumes 200 guesses/second, i.e., an online attack. Take a screenshot of your
results (not your password, though). Report what you thought of this site and if you are
going to make any changes to the way you use your computer.

2. Caesar Cipher. Using the Black Chamber website, decipher the text below:

LZAK EWKKSYW KSQK

3. Vignere Square Tool Cipher. Same as above. Tell me what the message below says: In
the Insert Keyword Here box type in UTEPMINERS, that's the way the cipher alphabet is
created. Describe how the cipher text was created and how the cipher text was changed
back into plain text.

4. XOR Encryption: The following is an XOR encryption of a word made up of seven


characters. XOR is a bitwise operator from binary mathematics.
• The XOR operator returns a 1 when the value of either the first bit or the second
bit is a 1.
• The XOR operator returns a 0 when neither or both the bits are 1.
• This is best illustrated in the provided chart.

The cipher text of the word is a follows:

00010000

00011011

00010110

00000111

00001100

00000101

00000001

The key is: 01010101

Set up a table (or use graph paper, or a spreadsheet) similar to the provided
chart. In the First Bit column copy in the numbers from above. The Key goes in
the Second Bit column. Use the provided table to determine your Results. There
are 7 letters, so you should have 7 tables.

Once you have the Results, you still have to decrypt the message by using the
ASCII to binary conversion chart website. Determine what letter each 8-bit string
stand for. I found it very helpful to just copy the Results and paste into the
Search (Command F on Macs) to quickly find the sequence.

ANSWER:

5. Cryptanalysis: Decrypt the following message. I'm not going to give you the key,
but I will give you a clue, the letters are shifted. Described how you approached
the problem.
