Shree Swaminarayan Institute of Technology, Bhat: Computer Engineering Department Subject: Information Security (3170720)

This document contains a question bank with questions from 6 units of an Information Security course. The units cover topics like active security attacks, symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms like DES, AES, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and cryptographic hash functions. Some questions ask to explain encryption algorithms like DES and AES steps, encryption modes like ECB and CBC, digital signatures and authentication. Other questions involve applying algorithms to examples or finding keys and ciphertexts.
