CNS Question Bank

The document is a question bank for a course on Cryptography and Network Security, divided into two units. Unit 1 covers topics such as security attacks, security services, algorithms for calculating GCD, and various types of attacks and cryptographic methods. Unit 2 focuses on different ciphers, including polyalphabetic and monoalphabetic ciphers, as well as encryption and decryption techniques using methods like Vigenere and Hill ciphers.
