OR

b)(i) given 10bit key k=1010000010. determine K1,K2 where
P10= 3 5 2 7 4 10 1 9 8 6
p8 = 6 3 7 4 8 5 10 9
by using SDES key generation method.(10)
(ii) using the positional value of alphabets, represent them in 5 bit binary. aplly the transformation Ci=Ki EX-OR Pi,Pi=Ci EX-OR Ki where Pi="scheme" Ki="cipher". find the cipher text(6)

12. a)(i)perform encryption/decryption using RSA algorithm for the following:
p=3, q=11, e=7, m=5 (12)
(ii) what attacks are possible on RSA algorithm?(4)

OR

b)(i)given the key "MONARCHY" apply play fair to pain text "FACTIONALISM" to ensure confidentially at the destination, decrypt the ciphertext and establish authenticity(8)
