Part 1: Written Problems
For polynomial arithmetic with coefficients in Z11 , perform the following calculations.
(x2 + 2x + 9 )(x3 + 11x2 + x + 7 )
(8x2 + 3x + 2 )(5x2 + 6 )
Determine which of the following polynomials are reducible over GF(2).
x2 + 1
x2 + x + 1
x4 + x + 1
Determine the gcd of the following pairs of polynomials. (x4+ 8x3 + 7x + 8) and (2x3 + 9x2 + 10x + 1) over GF(11)
Develop a set of tables similar to Table 5.3 for GF(3) with m(x) = x2 + x + 1.
In the discussion of MixColumns and InvMixColumns, it was stated that
b(x) = a−1(x) mod (x4 + 1), where a(x) = {03}x3 + {01}x2 + {01}x + {02} and b(x) = {0B}x3 + {0D}x2 + {09}x +{0E.} Show that this is true.
Given the plaintext {0F0E 0D0C 0B0A 0908 0706 0504 0302 0100} and the key {0202 0202 0202 0202 0202 0202 0202 0202}:
Show the original contents of State, displayed as a 4 × 4 matrix.
Show the value of State after initial AddRoundKey.
Show the value of State after SubBytes.
Show the value of State after ShiftRows.
Show the value of State after MixColumns.
Part 2: Programming Problem
This programming problem is to use an AES library to encode messages in various modes and padding methods. The purpose is to get familiar with the parameter setting and function calls. You can use either OpenSSL or Crypto++. Please find the related library information and examples on the Internet.
Encrypt the message (in ASCII)
AES is efficient in both software and hardware.

Submission: you need to upload two files
ase-modes.cpp or aes-modes.c: the program of generating the answers.
Out.txt: 4 ciphertexts separated by empty lines.
IV. On-site test: Will announce the venue and schedule later. The problem is to use your programs to decrypt some ciphertexts on the spot.
