The Secure Kernel Vault 1. Background: What is a Caesar Cipher? The Caesar Cipher is one of the oldest and simplest encryption techniques. It is a substitution cipher where each letter in the original message (plaintext) is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. In this assignment, we will use a Shift of 1: Enciphering (Writing to Kernel): We move +1 forward. (‘A’ becomes ‘B’, ‘h’ becomes ‘i’). Deciphering (Reading from Kernel): We move -1 backward. (‘B’ becomes ‘A’, ‘i’ becomes ‘h’). Example: Input: Hello Stored in Kernel (Scrambled): Ifmmp Output to User: Hello 2. Your Task Create a Loadable Kernel Module (LKM) that manages a /proc/vault entry. Your module must: On Write: Receive a string from the user, shift every alphabetic character by +1, and store it in a kernel buffer. On Read: Take the scrambled string, shift every character back by -1, and display the original message to the user. Persistence: The scrambled message should remain in memory until a new write overwrites it. 3. Implementation Requirements Use copy_from_user and copy_to_user for safe data transfer. Use a buffer of size 256 to store the message. Implement the “completed” toggle logic in proc_read to prevent cat from looping infinitely. Circular Logic: If a user writes ‘z’, it should wrap around to ‘a’. 4. Testing Steps for Students Compile and Insert: Run make and sudo insmod vault.ko. Write Data: Run echo “Attack at Dawn” > /proc/vault. Check Scrambled Data: Run dmesg | tail. Print Sramble text in Kernel log: Add a printk in write to show the scrambled string. Read Data: Run cat /proc/vault. It should correctly show Attack at Dawn.
