Suppose Alice and Bob are sending packets to each other over a computer network. Suppose Trudy positions herself in the network so that the can capture all the packets sent by Alice and send whatever she wants to Bob; she can also capture all the packets sent by Bob and send whatever she wants to Alice. List some of the malicious things Trudy can do from this position.

Let's pretend that Alice and Bob are exchanging data packets across a network.Let's say Trudy infiltrates the network and is able to read all of Alice's data, then forwards it on to Bob along with whatever other information she chooses. Provide some examples of what kind of harm Trudy can do from this vantage point.
Alice needs to transmit a 48-bit message using a 47-bit key. Suggest a scheme that is perfectly secure.
Alice encrypts a message using AES, and sends the ciphertext to Bob. Unfortunately, during the calculation of the third block, a lightning struck Alice’s house, corrupting the 2nd bit of the AES output (for the third block). Fortunately, nothing else of the calculation was affected. How much of the plaintext can Bob still recover if the mode of encryption is one of the followings: CBC, CFB, OFB, or CTR?
Through an unsafe communication connection, Alice needs to send Bob a confidential note. Describe a cost-effective method of protecting the letter's secrecy from eavesdroppers. Assume that Alice and Bob have no prior knowledge of each other's secrets.
Justify the following statements with appropriate reasons:i. Packets are lost only when network failures occur, but when the network heals packets areretained? ii.. Describe the following Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) parameters such as minimum threshold, maximum threshold, and Mark Probability Denominator (MPD).
Computer Science Suppose that an adversary, Eve, creates a public and private key and tricks Bob into registering pkE as a trusted certificate authority (that is, Bob thinks Eve is a trusted certificate authority). Assume that Alice is a web server and Bob a client and they connect to one another using SSL/TLS. Show a Man in the Middle attack allowing Eve to listen in on all communication between Alice and Bob even if Alice and Bob use SSL/TLS and even if Alice (the server) has a certificate from a real certificate authority (Alice does not trust Eve as a CA).
Given Alice wants to communicate with Bob over an insecure network, you are required to• Design a protocol based on a shared secret key to allow them to authenticate each other; • Explain the limitation of using the shared secret key in this context
Alice (Sender): Sends an encrypted message along with the encrypted symmetric key. Bob (Receiver): Decrypts the symmetric key using his private key, then decrypts the message using the symmetric key. give me in graphical represenation or dgarm flows to easily understand
Suppose that Alice has a private key used for decryption. If she loses it thenshe no longer wishes to receive messages encrypted with the correspondingpublic key as she cannot decrypt them. Even worse, if her private key iscompromised, the adversary can decrypt messages sent to her. Suggest ONE(1) immediate action that must be taken to protect Alice in both cases.
This raises the question: Why does the maximum packet lifetime have to be long enough to guarantee that not only the packet, but also its acknowledgements, are gone?
Suppose that an adversary, Eve, creates a public and private key and tricks Bob into registering pkE as a trusted certificate authority (that is, Bob thinks Eve is a trusted certificate authority). Assume that Alice is a web server and Bob a client and they connect to one another using SSL/TLS. Show a Man in the Middle attack allowing Eve to listen in on all communication between Alice and Bob even if Alice and Bob use SSL/TLS and even if Alice (the server) has a certificate from a real certificate authority (Alice does not trust Eve as a CA).
Suppose a key space of 230. Alice decides to encrypt a plaintext block 6 times with 6 different keys. What is the effective key space for Trudy?
