providing examples for each.
Q.10. With the help of suitable example elaborate how substitution cipher is different from
transposition cipher.
Q.11. Encrypt the plaintext "TOMORROW" using the Playfair cipher with the key "SECRET".

is used with keyword as “KEY”?
Q.15. An 8 bit data (AC)Hex is permuted using the permutation table as
7 3 1 5
Find the permutated output and the corresponding inverse 6 4 8 2
permutation table which can be used to get the original 8 bit data.
Q.16. Given the output of round 16 in DES as “0x0000 0002 0000 0080”. Find the respective
cipher text.
Q.17. How many S boxes are used in DES? Given the elements of the 2nd row (i.e. row no.
“01”) in a S box used in DES as 14,4,13,1,2,15,11,8,3,10,6,12,5,9,0 & 7. If the 6 bits input to
the S box is “011011”, determine the corresponding 4 bit output?
