IGMProutingprotocols
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol that allows
several devices to share one IP address so they can all receive the same data.
IGMP is a network layer protocol used to set up multicasting on networks that use
the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). -----2M
Applications:---3M
1. Streaming – Multicast routing protocol are used for audio and video
streaming over the network i.e., either one-to-many or many-to-many.
2. Gaming – Internet group management protocol is often used in simulation
games which has multiple users over the network such as online games.
3. Web Conferencing tools – Video conferencing is a new method to meet
people from your own convenience and IGMP connects to the users for
conferencing and transfers the message/data packets efficiently.

6 List and explain the services offered by session layer. 10M

1. Session Layer works as a dialog controller through which it allows

systems to communicate in either half-duplex mode or full duplex mode of
communication.
2. This layer is also responsible for token management, through which it
prevents two users to simultaneously access or attempting the same critical
operation.
 3. This layer allows synchronization by allowing the process of adding
checkpoints, which are considered as synchronization points to the streams
of data.
4. This layer is also responsible for session checkpointing and recovery.
5. This layer basically provides a mechanism of opening, closing and
managing a session between the end-user application processes.
6. The services offered by Session Layer are generally implemented in
application environments using remote procedure calls (RPCs).
7. The Session Layer is also responsible for synchronizing information from
different sources.
8. This layer also controls single or multiple connections for each-end user
application and directly communicates with both Presentation and
transport layers.
9. Session Layer creates procedures for checkpointing followed by
adjournment, restart and termination.
10. Session Layer uses checkpoints to enable communication sessions which
are to be resumed from that particular checkpoint at which communication
failure has occurred.
11. The session Layer is responsible for fetching or receiving data information
from its previous layer (transport layer) and further sends data to the layer
after it (presentation layer).

7 Explain virtual terminal protocols in detail. 10M

Definition of virtualterminalprotocols—2M
a virtual terminal (VT) is an application service that:---4M
1. Allows host terminals on a multi-user network to interact with other hosts
regardless of terminal type and characteristics,
2. Allows remote log-on by local area network managers for the purpose of
management,
3. Allows users to access information from another host processor for
transaction processing,
4. Serves as a backup facility.
Documents required to get a Virtual Terminal:2M

Personal Documents: Driving License and Personal Bank Statements for the
recent 3 months

Business Documents: Article of Incorporation, Business Bank Statements for the

recent 3 months, Processing Statements for the recent 3 months, Bank Letter or
Void check, EIN - IRS, and a few supporting documents based on the business
type.

disadvantages of virtual terminals. 2M

5. More expensive. As mentioned above, most merchant service providers
consider this payment method high risk and thus charge higher transaction
fees for it. ...
6. Increased risk of fraud. Any type of online transaction is risky, but it's
higher in a virtual terminal

8 Explain digital signatures in detail. 10M
Meaning of digitalsignatures –2M

Digital Signature consists of three algorithms:----3M

1. First is the key generation that helps in getting the private key from the
 possible values. It gives the private key and corresponding public key as
well.
2. Second is the signing algorithm that helps in the signature generation for the
corresponding message and private key.
3. The third is the signature verifying algorithm that is used to accept or
decline the authenticity of a document or message for the corresponding
public key and signature.

Advantages of digital signature: 3M

1. A digital signature provides better security in the transaction. Any
unauthorized person cannot do fraudulence in transactions.
2. You can easily track the status of the documents on which the digital
signature is applied.
3. High speed up document delivery.
4. It is 100% legal it is issued by the government authorized certifying
authority.
5. If you have signed a document digitally, then you cannot deny it.
Disadvantages of digital signature: --2M
1. You need to troubleshoot all the compatibility problems. In there are a lot of
compatibility settings like an updated version of driver and software.
2. Software is one of the main issues while using a digital signature certificate.
3. If you are belonging to the corporate world and running an export-import
organization, you need to produce a digital signature for E-ticketing.
4. In this signature, Lost or theft of keys and the use of vulnerable storage
facilities.

Proxy ARP ---2M

Proxy ARP enables a network proxy to answer ARP queries for IP addresses that
are outside the network. This enables packets to be successfully transferred from
one subnetwork to another.

ARP spoofing and ARP cache poisoning ---2M

LANs that use ARP are vulnerable to ARP spoofing, also called ARP poison
routing or ARP cache poisoning.

SECTION– B
(Compulsoryquestion, 01X10=10Marks)

Case Study/Problem:
A. Find the checksum for the following bit sequences. Assume 8-bit segment size.
1001001110010011
1001100001001101
Solution-

We apply the above discussed algorithm to calculate the checksum.

• 1001001110010011 + 1001100001001101 = 10010101111100000
• Since, the result consists of 17 bits, so 1 bit is wrapped around and added to the result.
• 0010101111100000 + 1 = 0010101111100001
• Now, result consists of 16 bits.
• Now, 1’s complement is taken which is 1101010000011110
• Thus, checksum value = 1101010000011110

B. Using the RSA public key cryptosystem with a = 1, b = 2 etc.

(i) If p = 17 and q = 19, list five legal values for d.
(ii) If p = 7 and q = 11 and d = 13, find e.

Solution-
A. . p=17, q=19

n=p*q=323

Φ(n)=(p-1)*(q-1)=288
 d(private key) should be chosen such that d and Φ(n) have no common factors(they are
relatively prime)

Possible choices for d=17,19

b. p=7, q=11 and d=13

n=p*q=77

Φ(n)=(p-1)*(q-1)=60

the following relation must hold

e*d=1 MOD Φ(n)

E*13=1 MOD 60

E*13 could be 32, 39, 52 and so on

For here we obtain e=13
