Agenda
1) GUI Discussion
2) Project Workflow

- A meeting was called by the group representative to discuss on the GUI design for the program

- Each member was task to determine which software development tool should be used to create our GUI

- Wilfred and Cheong Loong suggested using Visual Studio Express as it provides a GUI interface for our choice of software development language C++.

- The choice of the development tool was based on other aspect such as accessibility and that it is a standardize tool for a lot of users in development aspects.

- The group concluded that more research should be done on this tool, and if it is feasible, we will use this tool for our GUI design.

- The project Workflow was also discussed after the GUI tool was done.

- The agreed workflow is :
a) When a user inputs a data file to encrypt, the algorithm will break the file according to its algorithm (128 bytes for AES) and will split up the file into that many blocks (for e.g a 1MB file will be split into 7.8 blocks of 128bytes)

b) The program will then begin encrypting the different blocks accordingly with the modes and encryption algorithm chosen.

c) The results will then be shown for each block on its performance and the total performance will be listed.

d) For decryption, the file will be also split up using the chosen combination encryption mode.

e) The program will then decrypt the blocks separately and will combine the blocks to form the complete plaintext.

- This is the agreed workflow for our prototype program.

- Group members are proposed to remember this workflow for our implementation.

- The meeting was adjourned by the group representative.

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.
