6. TIMETABLE
a. what we will do over the 20 weeks
- Mark pointed out that the objectives aside from what features our project will consist should also include what we are aiming towards, like for example to help researchers accomplish their analysis in regards to cryptography algorithms
- Wilfred then issued out the research allocation on the proposal points
researching for the project proposal.
• This is our proposal allocation
1. OBJECTIVES

3rd Meeting of Mode Cipher Analysis Group
Members Present

Mark Yuen Leen Jin (Secretariat)
Khant Kyaw Nyein
Sin Cheong Loong
Eugene Zhuang (Newly Addition)
Agenda
1) Meet up with Supervisor
2) Project proposal details
3) Project discussion
Minutes of Meeting
- The group met up with our Project supervisor, Mr Tian
- An additional member was added to our group, Eugene Zhuang
- Mr Tian, explained to us the requirements of our project
- The idea is to create a program which enables to encrypt/decrypt data
- The assumption is based that our project will be used by researchers to analysis the performance on different combinations of encryption and mode ciphers
- The analysis of performance is based mostly on encryption timing.
- The program should include different cipher modes like ECB,OFB,CFB,CBC,PCBC and Counter Mode.
- The encryption algorithm is to be chosen by us, and we have agreed on using DES and AES.
- Mr Tian mentioned about additional features like multi-threaded/parallel processing.
- Multi threading encryption splits up the packets into equal individual packets and our program will handle encrypting each packets individually.
- There is a possibility that certain algorithm and modes might be not the most efficient way to go about and our program should display the results for each individual thread,(if each thread is chosen a different algorithm/mode)
- This is to allow the researchers to compare the results individually.
- The objective of the project is to create a program that allows encryption/decryption of data with different modes that can be chosen by the researcher, the project will then produces results which can be compared.
- Mr Tian also gave us a brief summary of what our proposal should contain, mainly the points that we have reviewed are included.
- In conclusion, a Deadline for the proposal was issued, and was concluded that on the 2nd of November 2011, we are to submit a full proposal to Mr Tian.
- At 2030hrs, the meeting was adjourned.

2nd Meeting of ModeCipher Group
Members Present
Wilfred Kok Jia Qiang (Current Group Representative)
Mark Yuen Leen Jin (Secretariat)
Khant Kyaw Nyein
Sin Cheong Loong
Agenda
1) Review on initial proposal
Minutes of meeting
- Wilfred bought up the initial proposal details as mention in the previous meeting, the summary, projected timeline, scope, member roles, objectives, development methods to the group for open discussion
- Cheong Loong suggested that we should all research on the project and come up with an abstract of an understanding of the project and will combine all the information for the summary extract
- The remaining group members seconded the idea
- Wilfred propose that the group get their research on the summary by the next meeting.
- He also bought up the other details like member roles, project timeline, scope and development methods should be included in the initial proposal.
- The development method we have chosen so far is C++, but with adequate research done, this might be vary to change
- The group has concur that member roles should be assigned after we get the summary of the project.
- The projected timeline should be created by the group representative and will be up by the next meeting or subsequent meeting.
- The group then discussed on which day we should meet up to summarize on our proposal details, Cheong Loong suggested on a Saturday. Khant seconded the motion.
- The next group meeting will occurred on Saturday 25 October with our Supervisor.
- Wilfred called the meeting to an end.

Khant Kyaw Nyein
Sin Cheong Loong
Agenda :
1)To discuss on initial proposal
2)Review on assigned task
Minutes of meeting
- Wilfred bought up the matters of the assigned task to each members
he discussed that the blog for documentation and minutes is created and if needed should go through him in order to publish any documentation/minutes/info
- The Secretariat is also assigned to update any minutes via Wilfred
- Khant show his researched regarding mode ciphers via Java, as he is knowledgeable on the language, this was taken into consideration as a development tool
- Cheong Loong suggested using C++ as that is the common development tool among the group member.
- Wilfred agrees with Cheong Loong as it was a language that all the group member knows but encourages Khant to continue on Java just in case the libraries are not available via C++
- The group then discuss on what the proposal should be included.
- The initial proposal was to be finalize with the basic information such as group data, project summary, our projected timeline, document versions, objectives, our scopes , group member roles and our development method.
- Mark suggested that we created a initial proposal by the end of the week
- Cheong Loong and Khant was again once assigned to research more on the development tools/method
- Cheong Loong also suggested that in our proposal we should also have added our problems/limitations if we faced
- The group then discussed on which day we should meet up to discuss on our proposal details, Khant suggested on a Wednesday. Wilfred seconded the motion.
- The next group meeting will occurred on Wednesday

Enter The Matrix
15th October. Plug In.
The day where we the few who have selected this topic are grouped together to identify each other as Project members and an introduction to CSCI 321 Final Year Project.
Our topic given is "Mode-Cipher Analysis Manager". After the introduction talk, the few of us who were identified to be in this project group met up for a short meeting with our Stand in supervisor - Mr Japit in regards to this Project.
Our group members are.
Mark Yuen Leen Jin
Khant Kyaw Nyein
Sin Cheong Loong and
Wilfred Kok Jia Qiang.
We immediately got to selecting a group Representative for the Project, while we did not come up with an immediate group representative, we decided with an approach that all the group members should have an opportunity to hold that position for a duration of time to experience what it is to lead a team. Hence we have agreed until the first Session (over a 2.5months span) to each take turns being the Group representative. The first 4-5 weeks group representative post shall be held by Wilfred. He started assigning task for each group member, Wilfred himself will contact the Project Supervisor(Client) in regards to the project plan and the creation of the blogspot for documentation purposes, Mark is to be taking down any minutes we have during any discussions and Sin Cheong Loong and Khant are to research on which development tools we will be using, with that, we ended the meeting on Saturday and proceeded to our assigned tasks.
