1、网络安全技术英文习题集Chapter 1 IntroductionANSWERS NSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1.1 What is the OSI security architecture?The OSI Security Architecture is a framework that provides a systematic way of defining the requirements for security and characterizing the approaches to satisfying those requirements.The document

2、 defines security attacks,mechanisms,and services,and the relationships among these categories.1.2 What is the difference between passive and active security threats?Passive attacks have to do with eavesdropping on,or monitoring,transmissions.Electronic mail,file transfers,and client/server exchange

3、s are examples of transmissions that can be monitored.Active attacks include the modification of transmitted data and attempts to gain unauthorized access to computer systems.1.3 Lists and briefly define categories of passive and active security attacks?Passive attacks:release of message contents an

4、d traffic analysis.Active attacks:masquerade,replay,modification of messages,and denial of service.1.4 Lists and briefly define categories of security service?Authentication:The assurance that the communicating entity is the one that it claims to be.Access control:The prevention of unauthorized use

5、of a resource(i.e.,this service controls who can have access to a resource,under what conditions access can occur,and what those accessing the resource are allowed to do).Data confidentiality:The protection of data from unauthorized disclosure.Data integrity:The assurance that data received are exac

6、tly as sent by an authorized entity(i.e.,contain no modification,insertion,deletion,or replay).Nonrepudiation:Provides protection against denial by one of the entities involved in a communication of having participated in all or part of the communication.名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 1 页，共 36 页 -Availabi

7、lity service:The property of a system or a system resource being accessible and usable upon demand by an authorized system entity,according to performance specifications for the system(i.e.,a system is available if it provides services according to the system design whenever users request them).Chap

8、ter2 Symmetric Encryptionand Message ConfidentialityANSWERS NSWERS TO QUESTIONS2.1 What are the essential ingredients of a symmetric cipher?Plaintext,encryption algorithm,secret key,ciphertext,decryption algorithm.2.2 What are the two basic functions used in encryption algorithms?Permutation and sub

9、stitution.2.3 How many keys are required for two people to communicate via a symmetric cipher?One secret key.2.4 What is the difference between a block cipher and a stream cipher?A stream cipher is one that encrypts a digital data stream one bit or one byte at a time.A block cipher is one in which a

10、 block of plaintext is treated as a whole and used to produce a ciphertext block of equal length.2.5 What are the two general approaches to attacking a cipher?Cryptanalysis and brute force.2.6 Why do some block cipher modes of operation only use encryption while others use both encryption and decryp

11、tion?In some modes,the plaintext does not pass through the encryption function,but is XORed with the output of the encryption function.The math works out that for decryption in these cases,the encryption function must also be used.2.7 What is triple encryption?名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 2 页，共 36 页 -Wi

12、th triple encryption,a plaintext block is encrypted by passing it through an encryption algorithm;the result is then passed through the same encryption algorithm again;the result of the second encryption is passed through the same encryption algorithm a third time.Typically,the second stage uses the

13、 decryption algorithm rather than the encryption algorithm.2.8 Why is the middle portion of 3DES a decryption rather than an encryption?There is no cryptographic significance to the use of decryption for the second stage.Its only advantage is that it allows users of 3DES to decrypt data encrypted by

14、 users of the older single DES by repeating the key.2.9 What is the difference between link and end-to-end encryption?With link encryption,each vulnerable communications link is equipped on both ends with an encryption device.With end-to-end encryption,the encryption process is carried out at the tw

15、o end systems.The source host or terminal encrypts the data;the data in encrypted form are then transmitted unaltered across the network to the destination terminal or host.2.10 List ways in which secret keys can be distributed to two communicating parties.For two parties A and B,key distribution ca

16、n be achieved in a number of ways,as follows:(1)A can select a key and physically deliver it to B.(2)A third party can select the key and physically deliver it to A and B.(3)If A and B have previously and recently used a key,one party can transmit the new key to the other,encrypted using the old key

17、.(4)If A and B each has an encrypted connection to a third party C,C can deliver a key on the encrypted links to A and B.2.11 What is the difference between a session key and a master key?A session key is a temporary encryption key used between two principals.A master key is a long-lasting key that

18、is used between a key distribution center and a principal for the purpose of encoding the transmission of session keys.Typically,the master keys are distributed by noncryptographic means.2.12 What is a key distribution center?名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 3 页，共 36 页 -A key distribution center is a system

19、 that is authorized to transmit temporary session keys to principals.Each session key is transmitted in encrypted form,using a master key that the key distribution center shares with the target principal.ANSWERS NSWERS TO PROBLEMS 2.1 What RC4 key value will leave S unchanged during initialization?T

20、hat is,after the initial permutation of S,the entries of S will be equal to the values from 0 through 255 in ascending order.Use a key of length 255 bytes.The first two bytes are zero;that is K0=K1=0.Thereafter,we have:K2=255;K3=254;K255=2.2.2 If a bit error occurs in the transmission of a ciphertex

21、t character in 8-bit CFB mode,how far does the error propagate?Nine plaintext characters are affected.The plaintext character corresponding to the ciphertext character is obviously altered.In addition,the altered ciphertext character enters the shift register and is not removed until the next eight

22、characters are processed.2.3 Key distribution schemes using an access control center and/or a key distribution center have central points vulnerable to attack.Discuss the security implications of such centralization.The central points should be highly fault-tolerant,should be physically secured,and

23、should use trusted hardware/software.Chapter 3 Public-Key Cryptography and Message AuthenticationANSWERS NSWERS TO QUESTIONS3.1 List three approaches to message authentication.Message encryption,message authentication code,hash function.3.2 What is message authentication code?名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-

24、第 4 页，共 36 页 -An authenticator that is a cryptographic function of both the data to be authenticated and a secret key.3.3 Briefly describe the three schemes illustrated in Figture3.2.(a)A hash code is computed from the source message,encrypted using symmetric encryption and a secret key,and appended

25、 to the message.At the receiver,the same hash code is computed.The incoming code is decrypted using the same key and compared with the computed hash code.(b)This is the same procedure as in(a)except that public-key encryption is used;the sender encrypts the hash code with the senders private key,and

26、 the receiver decrypts the hash code with the senders public key.(c)A secret value is appended to a message and then a hash code is calculated using the message plus secret value as input.Then the message(without the secret value)and the hash code are transmitted.The receiver appends the same secret

27、 value to the message and computes the hash value over the message plus secret value.This is then compared to the received hash code.3.4 What properties must a hash function have to be useful for message authentication?(1)H can be applied to a block of data of any size.(2)H produces a fixed-length o

28、utput.(3)H(x)is relatively easy to compute for any given x,making both hardware and software implementations practical.(4)For any given value h,it is computationally infeasible to find x such that H(x)=h.This is sometimes referred to in the literature as the one-way property.(5)For any given block x

29、,it is computationally infeasible to find y x with H(y)=H(x).(6)It is computationally infeasible to find any pair(x,y)such that H(x)=H(y).3.5 In the context of a hash function,what is a compression function?The compression function is the fundamental module,or basic building block,of a hash function

30、.The hash function consists of iterated application of the compression function.3.6 What are the principal ingredients of a public-key cryptosystem?Plaintext:This is the readable message or data that is fed into the algorithm as input.Encryption algorithm:The encryption algorithm performs various 名师

31、资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 5 页，共 36 页 -transformations on the plaintext.Public and private keys:This is a pair of keys that have been selected so that if one is used for encryption,the other is used for decryption.The exact transformations performed by the encryption algorithm depend on the public or pr

32、ivate key that is provided as input.Ciphertext:This is the scrambled message produced as output.It depends on the plaintext and the key.For a given message,two different keys will produce two different ciphertexts.Decryption algorithm:This algorithm accepts the ciphertext and the matching key and pr

33、oduces the original plaintext.3.7 List and briefly define three uses of a public-key cryptosystem.Encryption/decryption:The sender encrypts a message with the recipients public key.Digital signature:The sender signs a message with its private key.Signing is achieved by a cryptographic algorithm appl

34、ied to the message or to a small block of data that is a function of the message.Key exchange:Two sides cooperate to exchange a session key.Several different approaches are possible,involving the private key(s)of one or both parties.3.8 What is the difference between a private key and a secret key?T

35、he key used in conventional encryption is typically referred to as a secret key.The two keys used for public-key encryption are referred to as the public key and the private key.3.9 What is digital signature?A digital signature is an authentication mechanism that enables the creator of a message to

36、attach a code that acts as a signature.The signature is formed by taking the hash of the message and encrypting the message with the creators private key.The signature guarantees the source and integrity of the message.3.10 What is a public-key certificate?A pubic-key certificate consists of a publi

37、c key plus a User ID of the key owner,with the whole block signed by a trusted third party.Typically,the third party is a certificate authority(CA)that is trusted by the user community,such as a government agency or a financial institution.3.11 How can public-key encryption be used to distribute a s

38、ecret key?Several different approaches are possible,involving the private key(s)of one or both parties.One approach is Diffie-Hellman key exchange.Another 名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 6 页，共 36 页 -approach is for the sender to encrypt a secret key with the recipients public key.ANSWERS NSWERS TO PROBLEMS

39、 3.1 Consider a 32-bit hash function defined as the concatenation of two 16-bit functions:XOR and RXOR,defined in Section 3.2 as“two simple hash function.”a.Will this checksum detect all errors caused by an odd number of error bits?Explain.b.Will this checksum detect all errors caused by an even num

40、ber of error bits?If not,characterize the error patterns that will cause the checksum to fail.c.Comments on the effectiveness of this function for use a hash functions for authentication.a.Yes.The XOR function is simply a vertical parity check.If there is an odd number of errors,then there must be a

41、t least one column that contains an odd number of errors,and the parity bit for that column will detect the error.Note that the RXOR function also catches all errors caused by an odd number of error bits.Each RXOR bit is a function of a unique spiral of bits in the block of data.If there is an odd n

42、umber of errors,then there must be at least one spiral that contains an odd number of errors,and the parity bit for that spiral will detect the error.b.No.The checksum will fail to detect an even number of errors when both the XOR and RXOR functions fail.In order for both to fail,the pattern of erro

43、r bits must be at intersection points between parity spirals and parity columns such that there is an even number of error bits in each parity column and an even number of error bits in each spiral.c.It is too simple to be used as a secure hash function;finding multiple messages with the same hash f

44、unction would be too easy.3.2 Suppose H(m)is a collision resistant hash function that maps a message of arbitrary bit length into an n-bit hash value.Is it true that,for all messages x,x with x x,we have H(x)H(x)?Explain your answer.名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 7 页，共 36 页 -The statement is false.Such a

45、function cannot be one-to-one because the number of inputs to the function is of arbitrary,but the number of unique outputs is 2n.Thus,there are multiple inputs that map into the same output.3.3 Perform encryption and decryption using the RSA algorithm,as in Figture3.9,for the following:a.p=3;q=11;e

46、=7;M=5 b.p=5;q=11;e=3;M=9 c.p=7;q=11;e=17;M=8 d.p=11;q=13;e=11;M=7 e.p=17;q=31;e=7;M=2.Hint:Decryption is not as hard as you think;use some finesse.a.n=33;(n)=20;d=3;C=26.b.n=55;(n)=40;d=27;C=14.c.n=77;(n)=60;d=53;C=57.d.n=143;(n)=120;d=11;C=106.e.n=527;(n)=480;d=343;C=128.For decryption,we have 128

48、3599.What is the private key of this user?d=3031 3.6 Suppose we have a set of blocks encoded with the RSA algorithm and we don t have the private key,Assume n=pq,e is the public key.Suppose also someone tells us they know one of the plaintext blocks has a common factor with n.Does this help us in an

49、y way?名师资料总结-精品资料欢迎下载-名师精心整理-第 8 页，共 36 页 -Yes.If a plaintext block has a common factor with n modulo n then the encoded block will also have a common factor with n modulo n.Because we encode blocks that are smaller than pq,the factor must be p or q and the plaintext block must be a multiple of p or

50、 q.We can test each block for primality.If prime,it is p or q.In this case we divide into n to find the other factor.If not prime,we factor it and try the factors as divisors of n.3.7 Consider a Diffie-Hellman scheme with a common prime q=11 and a primitive root a=2.a.If user A has public key YA=9,w
