CENG-10012 Assignment 1 Page 1 Instructions:  Research 2 of the following topics.  Each topic must be 2.5 – 3 pages of 1.5 spaced, 11-point font size.  If you are using diagrams in your explanation, they must not comprise more than a half page per topic.  Do not copy text or diagrams from textbooks or internet sources into your work. Such submissions will probably be graded as 0 and cited for academic dishonesty.  Cite your references. References must be on a separate page.  Use the template provided as a starting point for this assignment. Topics 1. HTTPS uses public/private key encryption, which is a form of Asymmetric Encryption. The alternative is Symmetric Encryption. a. Explain how symmetric encryption works. Use diagrams (up to 2, that you create) to aid your explanation. b. Provide an example of where symmetric encryption is used today c. Compare the relative security of symmetric and asymmetric encryption. 2. Encryption is not new! The Enigma machine1 created by Germany during World War 2 was very effective for sending encrypted instructions to their troops. a. What type of encryption (asymmetric/symmetric) did it employ? b. Provide an overview of how it worked and why it was so effective. c. How were messages eventually decoded? 3. In the lab you installed an SSH server on Windows Server 2019. This allows clients to remotely connect securely to the server and transfer files securely. We will dive deeper into this server when Linux is introduced later in the course. SSH uses several encryption methods to securely communicate between client and server. Explain how an SSH client initiates and establishes a secure connection with an SSH server. Create your own diagrams to assist with your explanation. 1 Need a distraction from your studies? The Imitation Game is an interesting movie showing how Britain eventually deciphered Enigma messages.
