Question Description
I’m working on a cyber security multi-part question and need an explanation to help me learn.
Question 1 (Cryptool 1) [8 points]
A DES encrypted message is given in the DES_cipher.txt file.
You have been lucky; you have seen some part of the key 12 34 56 78 90 ** ** **. With the help of Cryptool 1, break the key and decipher the given text.
- a) How long time will it take you to compromise the complete key by using a brute force attack? (2 point)
- b) What is the complete secret key? (4 points)
- c) What is the decrypted text? (2 points)
Note: Provide the screenshot of every step to get full marks.
Question 2 (Cryptool 2) [12 points]

- a) Generate the hash value using built-in SHA-1 module (2 points).
- b) Generate public and private key using built-in RSA Key Generation module (2points)
- c) Encrypt has value using built-in RSA Cipher module (2 points)
- d) Display Signature in text format. (2 points)
- e) Develop Signature Verification component and display result in text format (4points)
Note: Provide the screenshot of every step to get full marks.
