Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a scenario where an organization uses deterministic RSA encryption without any padding to secure confidential emails. What potential vulnerabilities could arise, and how can they be addressed?

💡 Hint: Consider how patterns in identifiable messages might prompt malicious actions.

Question 2

Suppose an organization insists on using RSA without any security enhancements. Discuss how an attacker could approach cracking the encryption based solely on the observed patterns.

💡 Hint: Think about how consistently similar messages are phrased in communication.
