Cryptography and Network Security Internship Test
Intern has to take Cryptography and Network Security internship test in which they will be asked 50 multiple-choice questions. They have to score grade A or A* on this test to be eligible for the internship. Here’s a sample set of questions on the Cryptography and Network Security topic.
1. An encryption scheme is unconditionally secure if the ciphertext generated does not contain enough information to determine uniquely the corresponding plaintext, no matter how much cipher text is available.
(A) True
(B) False
View Answer
Explanation: The above statement is the definition for unconditionally secure cipher systems.
2. Choose from among the following cipher systems, from best to the worst, with respect to ease of decryption using frequency analysis.
(A) Random Polyalphabetic, Plaintext, Playfair
(B) Random Polyalphabetic, Playfair, Vignere
(C) Random Polyalphabetic, Vignere, Playfair, Plaintext
(D) Random Polyalphabetic, Plaintext, Beaufort, Playfair
View Answer
Explanation: Random Polyalphabetic is the most resistant to frequency analysis, followed by Vignere, Playfair and then Plaintext.
3. Which of the following slows the cryptographic algorithm –
1) Increase in Number of rounds
2) Decrease in Block size
3) Decrease in Key Size
4) Increase in Sub key Generation
(A) 1 and 3
(B) 2 and 3
(C) 3 and 4
(D) 2 and 4
View Answer
Explanation: Increase in any of the above 4 leads to slowing of the cipher algorithm i.e. more computational time will be required.
4. The S-Box is used to provide confusion, as it is dependent on the unknown key.
(A) True
(B) False
View Answer
Explanation: The S-Box is used to provide confusion, as it is dependent on the unknown key.
The P-Box is fixed, and there is no confusion due to it, but it provides diffusion.
5. Confusion hides the relationship between the ciphertext and the plaintext.
(A) True
(B) False
View Answer
Explanation: Confusion hides the relationship between the ciphertext and the key.
