AES uses a Feistel structure.
T
F
At each horizontal point, State is the same for both encryption and
decryption.
T
F
DES is a block cipher intended to replace AES for commercial
applications.
T
F
The nonlinearity of the S-box is due to the use of the multiplicative
inverse.
T
F
Virtually all encryption algorithms, both conventional and publickey,
involve arithmetic operations on integers.
T
F
Compared to public-key ciphers such as RSA, the structure of AES
and most symmetric ciphers is quite complex and cannot be
explained as easily as many other cryptographic algorithms.
T
F
The ordering of bytes within a matrix is by column.
T
F
In the Advanced Encryption Standard the decryption algorithm is
identical to the encryption algorithm.
T
F
The S-box is designed to be resistant to known cryptanalytic
attacks.
T
F
InvSubBytes is the inverse of ShiftRows.
T
F
As with any block cipher, AES can be used to construct a message
authentication code, and for this, only decryption is used.
T
F
The Rijndael developers designed the expansion key algorithm to
be resistant to known cryptanalytic attacks.
T
F
The transformations AddRoundKey and InvMixColumn alter the
sequence of bytes in State.
T
F
The inverse add round key transformation is identical to the
forward add round key transformation because the XOR
operation is its own inverse.
T
F
The Advanced Encryption Standard was published by the __________ in 2001.
NIST
ARK

AES can be implemented very efficiently on an 8-bit processor.
T
F
The first row of State is not altered; for the second row a 1-byte circular left
shift is performed; for the third row a 2-byte circular left shift is performed; and
for the fourth row a 3-byte circular left shift is performed. This transformation
is called __________ .
ShiftRows
AddRoundKey
MixColumns
Substitute bytes
