QP16 Network Security

This document is a question paper for an examination on Network Security. It contains 15 questions split into two parts. Part A contains 10 short answer questions worth 2 marks each on topics like cryptography, digital signatures, MAC, public key certificates, Kerberos, IPSec applications, and differences between application/network level gateways, honeypots, and active attack patterns. Part B contains 5 longer answer questions worth 16 marks each, allowing a choice between two topics, on subjects like block ciphers, symmetric encryption, hash functions, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, digital signatures, RSA, Kerberos architecture, IPSec, E-mail/MIME, password management, viruses/worms, wireless LAN security factors and mechanisms
