2 Assignment 5 Googling “hash calculator” resulted in the following site: https://www.tools4noobs.com/online_tools/hash/ The algorithm selected was “SHA-1.” Putting in the message “American Public University is a great University with outstanding instructors.” resulted in the following hash: “42a66048e4dd524687b773954c2e0b8804e6f11b” Googling “AES encryption tool” resulted in the following site: https://www.javainuse.com/aesgenerator Placing the above hash in the tool as text to encrypt, with Cipher Block Chaining, Key size of 128 bits, the initialization vector being “encryptIntVic,” the secret key being “1234567812345678” and the output being Base64, the following output was formulated: “i6F+WWhW1QnC1rPdx31/gYiDLvT66r2pbBMgkB7Nvo795cZg5vamiUeZA76yCitj” While both the hashed message and the encrypted message are garbled nonsense, the formats appear different. For one, the hashed value has only numbers and letters while the AES encrypted format has some symbols. Additionally, the AES encrypted text is longer than the hashed texted. Lastly, the hashed value appears to follow a loose format and the AES encrypted text does not follow a visible format.
