Cryptography Exam Questions Guide

The document discusses cryptography and network security topics for a final year computer science course. It includes questions about Feistel encryption algorithms, the difference between diffusion and confusion, triple DES and meet-in-the-middle attacks. It also asks about transposition ciphers, steganography, block ciphers versus stream ciphers and one-time pads. Additional questions cover group, ring and field definitions in abstract algebra, calculating the greatest common divisor using the Euclidean algorithm, Fermat's theorem, Euler's totient function and performing RSA encryption and decryption.
