As discussed in class, describe the steps of the Existential Forgery Attack against the RSA Digital Signature. Then, if the attacker, Oscar, is able to create a message with the right signature signed by Bob, say yes or no. Why?
Let's say that the authentication protocol used by an organization is Kerberos.If either the Authentication Server (AS) or the Ticket Granting Server (TGS) were to fail, what kind of an effect would it have on the overall level of security and availability of the service?
Suppose Charlie had installed key logger software on all company computer systems and had made a copy of Peter's encryption key. Suppose that Charlie had this done without policy authority and without anyone's knowledge, including Peter's.
Would the use of such a tool be an ethical violation on Charlie's part? Is it illegal?
Suppose that Charlie had implemented the key logger with the knowledge and approval of senior company executives, and that every employee had signed a release that acknowledged the company can record all information entered on the company systems. Two days after Peter's call, Charlie calls back to give Peter his key: "We got lucky and cracked it early." Charlie says this to preserve Peter's illusion of privacy. Is such a "little white lie" an ethical action on Charlie's part?

Suppose that as part of Bob’s early (unsuccessful) experiment with cloud based surveys, the authentication system allows the user to attempt 100 passwords per second, but the user must wait for a 5 second lockout period, every 10 seconds.

- It seems obvious that Miller is breaking at least a few laws in his attempt at revenge. Suppose that when his scanning efforts were detected, SLS not only added his IP address to the list of sites banned from connecting to the SLS network, but the system also triggered a response to seek out his computer and delete key files on it to disable his operating system. What if SLS were part of an industry consortium that shared IP addresses flagged by its IDPSs, and all companies in the group blocked all of the ISP's users for 10 minutes? These users would be blocked from accessing perhaps hundreds of company networks. Would that be an ethical response by members of the consortium?

Laplas Clipper is a variant of information stealing malware which operates by diverting crypto-currency transactions from victims’ crypto wallets into the wallets of threat actors [1]. Laplas Clipper is a Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) offering available for purchase and use by a variety of threat actors. It has been observed in the wild since October 2022, when 180 samples were identified and linked with another malware strain, namely SmokeLoader [2].
