Coursework in Lieu of Exam – 2019/20 Module Code: SEC202 
 
Page 2 of 3 
 
Learning Objectives: 
 
The following learning objectives will be addressed: 
 
1. Identify the issues involved with the design of secure systems and the complexity 
of cryptographic systems. 
2. Critically analyse the need for protection mechanisms within different complex 
scenarios. 
3. Analyze security issues for protection mechanisms within different scenarios, and 
identify appropriate security mechanisms to secure applications. 
 
Instructions: 
This course work is in the format of a “seen paper” where you are given some questions to 
answer in a limited time duration of 48 hours. There are four questions to complete and they 
carry equal marks. Each question is based from materials delivered throughout the module 
but you also have the opportunity to draw upon additional research. Note that, The 
coursework has been designed to take 4-5 hours on average. 
 
The answers should give a brief introduction of the problem mentioned in the question, 
demonstrate knowledge about the problem in the form of examples etc, do the required 
analysis or give rationale for the answers, and give references to support your arguments. If 
you are unfamiliar with referencing style, then a Google search using the term ‘Harvard 
referencing’ will help. 
 
Although you will be expected to make significant use of printed and online literature in 
researching and producing your materials, it is not acceptable for you to simply cut and paste 
material from other sources (small quotes are acceptable until and unless you go on analyse 
and discuss them but they must be clearly indicated as being quotes and the source must be 
referenced appropriately). 
 
Task: 
 
Please answer the following questions. Each question carries equal marks. 
 
Q1: Assume you want to encrypt a plaintext written in English. The techniques you have at 
hand are mono-alphabetic substitution cipher, Poly-alphabetic substitution cipher, Columnar 
transposition, Key-Word columnar transposition and Concealment. Describe and explain, 
which method would be the most effective in encrypting the message and why? Please give 
examples where appropriate. (500 Words) 
 
Q2: Assume you have an image to send over an un secure channel to your friend. You have 
decided to use AES for encrypting this image but you want to decide which block mode to 
use. Describe and explain, which mode of operation you would choose so that the encrypted 
image does not leak any information about the original message and why? How would you 
make sure that the chosen mode is protected against known-plaintext attack and chosen- 
plaintext attacks? Please give examples to support your answer. (500 words).

Q3: We know that the issue with secret key encryption is the distribution of key. Describe and 
explain how you could solve this problem by using Public key encryption. What do you think 
is the problem of using Public key encryption alone and consequently, how would you 
recommend an encryption method, using the best of Public/Secret key encryptions, for 
sending a message between the two users? Furthermore, which key agreement/distribution 
method do you think would be most optimal for this scheme in order to stop a man-in-the- 
middle attack. How would you protect the integrity of the message against active-attacks? 
Which method would you suggest that the users could use to authenticate each other? (500 
Words) 
 
Q4: The 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) provides technological 
improvements over the 2G GSM networks. Furthermore, it also rectifies the security loopholes 
that were there in the GSM networks. Describe and explain, what security issues were there 
in the GSM networks which have been rectified in the UMTS. What additional security 
features have been included in UMTS due to technological enhancements? Note that, due to 
words limit, you are expected to give a brief of issues and their solutions correspondingly. 
(500 Words) 
 
Assessment details: 
 
For each of the questions, the following marking scheme will be applied: 
 
Introduction 10% 
Background Knowledge: 40% 
Analysis/Rationalization: 40% 
Referencing and Presentation: 10% 
 
Your answers will be assessed on the depth and breadth of your arguments, evidence of 
research, and overall quality of presentation. It will be expected to have an appropriate 
introduction and to be supported by references. 
 
Threshold Criteria (these are indicative only): 
 
To achieve a 3rdclass (40%+), all answers must demonstrate an understanding of the key 
steps to undertaking research and analysis of security related issues, encryption algorithms, 
protection mechanisms and propose some solutions. 
 
To achieve a 2.2 (50%+), all answers demonstrate a good understanding of the key steps to 
undertaking research and analysis of security related issues, encryption algorithms, 
protection mechanisms and propose some solutions. Some evidence of referencing. 
 
To achieve a 2.1 (60%+), all answers must demonstrate a very good understanding of the 
key steps to undertaking research and analysis of security related issues, encryption 
algorithms, protection mechanisms and propose some solutions giving rationale for your 
solutions. Evidence of referencing throughout. 
 
To achieve a 1st (70%+), all answers must demonstrate an excellent understanding of the 
key steps to undertaking research and analysis of security related issues, encryption 
algorithms, protection mechanisms and propose some solutions giving rationale for your 
solutions. It is expected that there would be a good use of references to support the 
accompanying commentary.
