Multiple choice questions for assgt-sdes.htm's manual sdes encryption and decryption exercise
1. Midway through the encryption operation is a swap step. Your
midstream result following that step (after doing its swap) is:
a. 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1
b. 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1
c. 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
d. 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
e. 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0
2. At the end of the encryption operation is an inverse initial
permutation step. It's result is the ciphertext. Your ciphertext is:
a. 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1
b. 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1
c. 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
d. 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1
e. 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
3. Midway through the decryption operation is a swap step. Your
midstream result following that step (after doing its swap) is:
a. 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
b. 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1
c. 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0
d. 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1
e. 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0
4. Near the end of the decryption operation is the final step in
the exercise that employs s-boxes. In that step the two row/column coordinate
pairs developed for box S0 and box S1 respectively are:
a. row 3 and column 2 for S0, row 1 and column 0 for S1
b. row 3 and column 3 for S0, row 3 and column 2 for S1
c. row 3 and column 3 for S0, row 0 and column 2 for S1
d. row 1 and column 2 for S0, row 3 and column 0 for S1
e. row 3 and column 2 for S0, row 3 and column 0 for S1
