Secure communication protocols often attach timestamps/lifetimes to messages to resist: Replay attacks Block reordering attacks Denial of Service attacks. None of the above The digital signature (the message hash encrypted using the sender's private key) is not sufficient to preserve the confidentiality of the message. True or false? True False The use of only encryption, without MAC, in communication protocols may not be enough to preserve message authentication because: Eavesdroppers can read the content of the messages. Attackers might be able to reorder message blocks without being detected. Encryption algorithms add substantial processing overhead. All the above.

6. Suppose H(m) is a collision-resistant hash function that maps a message of arbitrary bit length into an n-bit hash value. Is it true that, for all messages x, x' with x ≠x', we have H(x) ≠H(x')? Explain your answer. (2.6 from the book). 7. Consider the following figure (a) Creation of a digital envelope (b) Opening a digital envelope Figure 2.8 Digital Envelopes Construct a figure similar to Figure 2.8 that includes a digital signature to authenticate the message in the digital envelope.
