Network security


I need detailed answers for these 2 questions.

1.Suppose we wish to use Kerberos for securing electronic mail. The obvious way of accomplishing this is for Alice, when sending a message to Bob, to obtain a ticket for Bob and include that in the email message, and to encrypt and/or integrity-protect the email message using the key in the ticket. The problem with this is that then the KDC would give Alice a quantity encrypted with Bob's password-derived master key, and then Alice could do off-line password guessing. How might Kerberos be extended to secure email without allowing off-line password guessing?
(Hint: Issue human users an extra, unguessable master key for use with mail, and extend the Kerberos protocol to allow Bob to safely obtain his unguessable master key from the KDC.)

2.Assume we are using secret key technology. What is wrong with the following source authentication scheme?
Alice chooses a per-message secret key K, and puts an encrypted version of K in the header for each recipient, (ie Bob and Ted). Next, Alice uses K to compute a MAC on the message, say a DES-CBC residue, or to compute a message digest of K and append it to the message.

(Hint: this works fine for a single recipient, but there is a security problem if Alice sends a multiple-recipient message. Once they receive the message, Bob and Ted know both K and K encrypted with the key they share with Alice. This allows either to forge a message to the other as if it were from Alice.)

Network Secuirty/design for clipper/Alice-Bob communcaition - Greatly appreacieted if someone can provide help on this problem.Not able to follow. 1.How to Propose an alternative design for Clipper, where each chip knows only a public key and the government holds the corresponding private key, and where each party sends the session key encrypted under the public key as part of its transmission....
use of public and private keys - 2.)Suppose there is a publicly readable file called /etc/public key. An entry in the file for user A consists of a user's identifier IDA, the user's public key, KUa, and the corresponding private key KRa. This private key is encrypted using DES with a key derived from the user's login password Pa. When A logs in the system decrypts Epa[KRa] to obtain KRa. a.)The ...
Information Systems - Details: The owner was impressed with your presentation last week and are willing to move forward. Eventually, you will recommend new information systems to SewWorld to grow into new areas and make the most of its existing markets. However, change does come at a price. Discuss ways in which the introduction of a new, or a changed, information system will affect this organizat...

Each store s...
Information Systems - To improve the speed, accuracy, and reliability of their information system, SewWorld has the option to either purchase software off-the-shelf or to create it internally. With that in mind, use the Cybrary to research and find system development tools or techniques that are available and popular today. Choose one tool or technique. In your opinion, explain which dire...
