security of DES? Justify your answer. [2]
d) How keys are exchanged in Diffie-Hellman algorithm? [3]
e) Give a note on public key infrastructure. [2]
f) What problem was Kerberos designed to address? Explain. [3]

of a simple substation? Explain. [5+5]
OR
3. Consider a desktop publishing system used to produce documents for various
organizations.
a) Give an example of a type of publication for which confidentiality of the stored data
is the most important requirement.
b) Give an example of a type of publication in which data integrity is the most
important requirement.
c) Give an example in which system availability is the most important requirement.[10]
