Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur - 572 103: Usn 1 S I ECEL26

1. Masquerade attacks can be classified as an impersonation attack. Encryption of one bit at a time is called a stream cipher. Symmetric ciphers use a single key for encryption. 2. Two important security issues addressed in public key encryption are authentication and confidentiality. A digital signature is achieved by using the private key of encryption. 3. A hash function is generated by using a cryptographic hash function. Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol is insecure against man-in-the-middle attacks.
