The purpose of this question is to ask the students to go through one Rijndael round from the AES algorithm.

A straightforward test of encrypting and decrypting an eight-letter message with the Caesar Cipher.  Message letters are generated uniformly at random from the English alphabet, as is the key.  Students are expected to be able to map English letters onto elements of $\mathbb{Z}_{26}$ in the usual order.

Dummy question to test random() function when first decimal place of upper limit of range is 4, and test of currency() function.

DCS 2023 Maths Entrance Test to be used September 2023

1.5 hours with 3 randomised questions from each of these groups:

• Notation and Algebra
• Calculus - Differentiation
• Calculus - Integration
• Trigonometry

The purpose of this question is to ask the students to go through one Rijndael round from the AES algorithm.

This question runs the students through the Elliptic Curves version of Diffie Hellman.

In this question the students are given the public and private keys for El Gamal through Elliptic Curve and a message to decrypt. They have to decrypt the message.
