Which statements are correct
Electronic code book mode (ECB) allows for a simple block cipher encryption of large input plaintext by breaking the plaintext into subsequent blocks.
Insecure communication channels may include Internet, GSM, wireless networks (Wi-Fi).
Letter frequency analysis attack is considered effective against substitution cipher because identical plaintexts map to identical ciphertexts.
Double encryption using DES may seem secure but is prone to the meet-in-the-middle attack.
4. Which of the statements below are correct
A condition for the affinity cipher to work with a key (a,b) is that for having a greatest common divisor for a and m (number of letters in alphabet) equal to 1, which will mean that the cipher's encryption function is injective.
In cryptography unencrypted message is referred to as the plaintext, while the encrypted message is referred to as the ciphertext.
An exhaustive key search attack (brute-force type of attack) is considered effective against substitution cipher.
Unconditional security of a cipher can be referred to as information-theoretic security (meaning it cannot be broken even with infinite computing resources) and is only true for the OTP cipher, however under a condition that the truly random key (of length such as of the plaintext message) can be distributed between the parties, which can only be done unconditionally securely using the quantum key distribution.
5. Which of these statements are correct
Cryptography can be generally divided into symmetric (public-key) and asymmetric (private-key) cryptography.
A linear feedback shift register (LSFR) has an input bit being a linear function of its previous state and can be easily implemented from flip-flops, however due to security issues it was not used in any practical cryptographic scenario.
Permutation is an example of diffusion in a block cipher.
Stream ciphers encrypt individual bits using public keys.
