    This document provides instructions for a secret-key encryption lab assignment with 6 tasks. The tasks involve analyzing a ciphertext with frequency analysis, encrypting files with different ciphers and modes in OpenSSL, observing the effects of ECB and CBC modes on an image, analyzing padding added by encryption modes, observing how corrupted ciphertexts can be decrypted, and programming encryption/decryption in C using a given plaintext, ciphertext, IV, and word list to find the key. The document provides resources and asks students to submit results and code.

    Assignment 2 - Secret-Key Encryption Lab

    All tasks in this assignment are based on SEED Labs – Secret-Key Encryption Lab tasks and
    you should use the original lab for more information.
    https://seedsecuritylabs.org/Labs_16.04/Crypto/Crypto_Encryption/

    The learning objective of this lab is for students to get familiar with the concepts in the
    secret-key encryption.
    For performing these tasks you can either use​ iris.nyit.edu shell​ or download and run
    SEEDUbuntu16.04 pre-built VM. All needed tools are installed on both.

    All your results and screenshots should be included in your report. Please submit the
    documents separately on Blackboard by the deadline. NO ZIPPED FILES ALLOWED

    Task 1: Frequency Analysis Against Monoalphabetic Substitution Cipher. [10 marks]


    There is a ciphertext file on this assignment’s attachment (ciphertext1.txt). Your job is to use the
    frequency analysis to figure out the encryption key and the original plaintext.
    You can use the following online tool:
    http://www.brianveitch.com/maze-runner/frequency-analysis/index.html

    Please report the encryption key (mapping table) and the original plaintext.

    Task 2: Encryption using Different Ciphers and Modes. [10 marks]


    Try to use ​openssl​ tool to encrypt/decrypt a file for 3 different ciphers: -aes-128-cbc, -bf-cbc,
    -aes-128-cfb. You can choose any plaintext message and store it in a file as openssl
    encryption’s input.

    Please include your commands, screenshots, and results in the report.

    Task 3: Encryption Mode – ECB vs. CBC [10 marks]


    Select a bmp picture of your choice, encrypt the picture with ​openssl​ by des-cbc and des-ecb,
    display the encrypted picture using a picture viewing program, and decrypt it again.

    Please include your commands and screenshots in the report and explain your
    observations. Also, upload your input and output files

    Task 4: Padding [10 marks]


    Use DES with ECB, CBC, CFB, and OFB modes to encrypt three files, which contain 5 bytes,
    10 bytes, and 16 bytes, respectively. Please report which modes have paddings and which ones
    do not. Please display what paddings are added to the three files. It should be noted that
    padding data may not be printable, so you need to use a hex tool to display the content.
    Please include your commands, screenshots, and results in the report and upload your
    inputs and outputs.

    Task 5: Error Propagation – Corrupted Cipher Text [10 marks]


    Create a text file that is at least 1000 bytes long. Encrypt the file using the AES-128 cipher with
    ECB, CBC, CFB, and OFB mode. Alter a bit of the encrypted files using a hex editor (bless,
    Vim).

    How much information can you recover by decrypting the corrupted file, if the encryption
    mode is ECB, CBC, CFB, or OFB, respectively? Please provide justification.
    Please include your commands, screenshots, and results in the report.

    Task 6: Programming using the Crypto Library [20 marks]


    You are given a plaintext and a ciphertext, and your job is to find the keys that are used for the
    encryption.
    You should use an English word list, we attached one to this assignment(words.txt). The
    plaintext, ciphertext, and IV are listed in the following:

    plain text: "This is a top secret."


    algorithm: -aes-128-cbc
    iv: 010203040506070809000a0b0c0d0e0f
    ciphertext: ciphertext6.bin

    key:?

    Submit the following documents separately on Blackboard by the deadline.


    1) All your code files
    3) A MAKEFILE that automates the building/compiling of your code.
    4) Include your answer and test results with screenshots in the report
