Crypto Lab
Overview
The purpose of this lab is to get students familiar with block-ciphers, stream ciphers, encryption modes, one-way hash functions, Message Authentication Code (MAC) and HMAC. Although you can implement this lab in any OS environment, we strongly suggest that you implement it in the Minix environment, because you will need the implementation in the IPSec lab, which is desgined for Minix. However, if you do decide to implement the lab in another OS environment, you can port the implementation to Minix quite easily.Lab Description and Tasks (PDF)

For instructors: if you prefer to modify the lab description
to suit your own courses, you can download the source files (Latex)
from here.
Recommended Time: 1 week
Files that are Needed
- AES, MD5, SHA-256, HMAC-MD5 code.
- To use the code in variouls places within Minix, it is better to create a crypto library in Minix.
