technique of depth (i) 3 (ii) 4.
Q.20. Consider the Ciphertext “BTLNE SWOMY EOGEU CITAT ODABT UHR”. Using the Rail
Fence Cipher, find out the plaintext for key value 2.
Q.21. Consider a columnar transposition cipher with the keyword MAYBERRY. Use this cipher to
encrypt THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW WAS SET INRURAL MAYBERRY NORTH CAROLINA,
padded with Xs (if necessary) so each column in the array will have the same number of letters.

transposition cipher of one round with a key 4312576.
Q23. Draw the Fiestel cipher structure that uses only three rounds of processing to generate the
ciphertext.

Q24. Using the structure mentioned in Q23 generate the ciphertext (in Hexadecimal form) for the 16
bits plaintext “9AC8” (in Hexadecimal form). Assume the round function as logic AND operation and
the subkeys for round 1, 2, 3 are “34”, “56”, “13” (in Hexadecimal form) respectively.

Q25. State how the inverse initial permutation table is created from initial permutation table.
