Q.1. Let Bob wants to send a long message to Alice. Alice should be able to confirm that it was indeed sent by Bob, and Bob later cannot deny that he had sent the message. They also want that nobody else should be able to see its content. Alice and Bob plan to use public key cryptography and cryptographic hashing techniques. Let the key pairs of Alice and Bob be (Pub A, Pri A) and (Pub B, Pri B), respectively.

Which of the following describes the correct order of steps to be used by Alice to send the digitally signed message. i. At Bob : M’ = E(M, KpubA) ii. At Alice : M = E(M’, Kpria) iii. Bob sends the message M’ to Alice iv. The signature along with the message is sent to Alice (M, M’) v. Bob : M’ = E(M, KpriB) vi. Signing the message with his private key : S = E(H(M), KpriB) vii. M = E(M’, KpubB)

• a. i, iii, ii, v, iv, vii, vi
• b. i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii
• c. v, vii, ii, i, iii, iv, vi
• d. vii, vi, v, iv, iii, ii, i

About NPTEL Blockchain and its Applications Course:

In the last few years, Blockchain technology has generated massive interest among governments, enterprises, and academics, because of its capability of providing a transparent, secured, tamper-proof solution for interconnecting different stakeholders in a trustless setup. In January 2021, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeiTY), Government of India, published the first draft of the “National Strategy on Blockchain” that highlights 17 potential applications that are of national interest. Against this backdrop, this subject will cover the basic design principles of Blockchain technology and its applications over different sectors.
