CS772

Assignment #5

 

Part 1: Due Midnight Thursday  Nov 8, 2012

Create a certificate request (as described in OpenSSL PKI lecture) and submit it to cs772 for signature.

Part 2: Due Midnight Thursday Nov  22, 2012

 

Use  OpenSSL SMIME to do the following.

Assume Y is you and F is one of your friends in cs772.

1.    Y   prepares a   plain text message and emails it to F  as  signed &  encrypted message.

 

2.    F decrypts & verifies  the signature on the received message.  

Then he appends  his plain text reply to the received signed message.

He then signs & encrypts and emails the resulting message to  Y.

 

3.    Y decrypts  & verifies  the signature on the received reply.

Then he  appends  a plain text comment  to the received signed message.

He then signs the resulting message and saves it in file.

 

4.    Y  encrypts to cs772 three  signed message named SM1, SM2 and SM3:

1)   SM1  contains the signed message from Y to F (thus S1 has one signature by  Y)

2)   SM2  contains the signed reply from F  to Y (thus S2 has two signatures by Y and F)

3)   SM3  contains the signed comment by Y on the reply from F (thus S3 has three signatures by Y, F and Y)

 

5.    Y use tar to create one file called loginA5.tar that contains:

 

1)   README

2)   SM1

3)   SM2

4)   SM3

 

For example, for student wahab:

% tar    cf      wahabA5.tar  README  SM1 SM2 SM3

 

7. Finally, submit loginA5.tar  to  cs772
