The system must be substantially undecipherable.

The keys must be easy to communicate and remember.

The system must be compatible with telegraph communication.

Which principle did Claude Shannon restate as "the enemy knows the system"?

The system must not require secrecy.

The system must be substantially undecipherable.

The keys must be easy to communicate and remember.

The system must be easy to use.

What is a characteristic of modern cryptographic algorithms used by computers?

They are open and still secure.

They are based on simple mathematical problems.

They are easy to break if the encryption process is known.

They rely on physical security measures.

What is an example of a one-way problem in cryptography?

Multiplication of large numbers

What are the two technologies mentioned that helped bridge the gap between older cryptographic methods and modern ones?

Keyword ciphers and one-time pads

Caesar ciphers and substitution ciphers

Frequency analysis and substitution ciphers

Keyword ciphers and frequency analysis

How do keyword ciphers differ from the Caesar cipher?

They use a key to determine what to substitute for each letter of the message.

They shift all letters by the same number of spaces in the alphabet.

They do not use any key for substitution.

They are not vulnerable to frequency analysis.

What is a major weakness of keyword ciphers?

They are vulnerable to frequency analysis.

What makes the one-time pad unbreakable when used properly?

It uses completely random sets of numbers known as shifts.

It shifts all letters by the same number of spaces in the alphabet.

It does not use any key for substitution.

It is not vulnerable to frequency analysis.

What is the key component in both keyword ciphers and one-time pads?

The use of the same number of spaces in the alphabet

What is the primary weakness of symmetric key cryptography?

The need to share a single key among all users

The complexity of the encryption algorithm

The inability to encrypt large amounts of data

The requirement for a secure channel for key exchange

What does the process of key exchange in symmetric cryptography involve?

Sharing the same key between the sender and the receiver

Using different keys for encryption and decryption

Using a public key to encrypt the message

Encrypting the message multiple times

What is a potential risk if attackers gain access to the key in symmetric key cryptography?

They can decrypt, alter, and re-encrypt the message

They can only decrypt the message

They can only alter the message

They can only encrypt the message

What are the two types of ciphers used in symmetric key cryptography?

Block ciphers and stream ciphers

Public ciphers and private ciphers

Stream ciphers and hash ciphers

How does a stream cipher encrypt data?

By encrypting each bit in the plaintext message one bit at a time

By encrypting the entire message at once

By encrypting each byte in the plaintext message one byte at a time

By encrypting each word in the plaintext message one word at a time

What is a disadvantage of block ciphers compared to stream ciphers?

They are more susceptible to errors in the encryption process

What does the length of the key determine in a cryptographic algorithm?

The complexity of the algorithm
