CS475 Final Review
The test will be closed book, but you can have a page or two of notes. Be prepared for questions on the following:
- How encryption works in principle (key space, subsititution vs. permutation, etc)
- Modern Ciphers
- Public Key Ciphers
- Presentations
- Buffer Overflows! This is the biggest topic on the final.
The test is divided into 5 sections:
- General. Whatever points aren't part of either of the following. Encryption can be included here.
- Presentation Questions. about 24 or 32 points
- Buffer Overflows. Around 45 points.
There is no RSA question.
