  1. What is the focus of cryptanalysis?

hiding secret codes

developing secret codes

breaking encrypted codes

implementing encrypted codes

 

  1. How many bits does the Data Encryption Standard (DES) use for data encryption?

40 bits

56 bits

64 bits

72 bits

 

  1. Which statement describes the Software-Optimized Encryption Algorithm (SEAL)?

SEAL is a stream cipher.

It uses a 112-bit encryption key.

It is an example of an asymmetric algorithm.

It requires more CPU resources than software-based AES does.

 

  1. Which encryption algorithm is an asymmetric algorithm?

DH

SEAL

3DES

AES

 

  1. An online retailer needs a service to support the nonrepudiation of the transaction. Which component is used for this service?

the private key of the retailer

the unique shared secret known only by the retailer and the customer

the public key of the retailer

the digital signatures

 

  1. In which situation is an asymmetric key algorithm used?

Two Cisco routers authenticate each other with CHAP.

User data is transmitted across the network after a VPN is established.

An office manager encrypts confidential files before saving them to a removable device.

A network administrator connects to a Cisco router with SSH.

 

  1. What is the purpose of a nonrepudiation service in secure communications?

to ensure that encrypted secure communications cannot be decoded

to confirm the identity of the recipient of the communications

to provide the highest encryption level possible

to ensure that the source of the communications is confirmed

 

  1. Which objective of secure communications is achieved by encrypting data?

integrity

authentication

confidentiality

availability

 

  1. Why is the 3DES algorithm often preferred over the AES algorithm?

3DES is more trusted because it has been proven secure for a longer period than AES.

AES is more expensive to implement than 3DES.

3DES performs better in high-throughput, low-latency environments than AES.

Major networking equipment vendors such as Cisco have not yet adopted AES.

 

  1. What is the most common use of the Diffie-Helman algorithm in communications security?

to create password hashes for secure authentication

to provide routing protocol authentication between routers

to encrypt data for secure e-commerce communications

to secure the exchange of keys used to encrypt data

 

  1. Which type of encryption algorithm uses public and private keys to provide authentication, integrity, and confidentiality?

symmetric

shared secret

IPsec

asymmetric

 

  1. How do modern cryptographers defend against brute-force attacks?

Use statistical analysis to eliminate the most common encryption keys.

Use a keyspace large enough that it takes too much money and too much time to conduct a successful attack.

Use an algorithm that requires the attacker to have both ciphertext and plaintext to conduct a successful attack.

Use frequency analysis to ensure that the most popular letters used in the language are not used in the cipher message.

 

  1. Which encryption protocol provides network layer confidentiality?

IPsec protocol suite

Transport Layer Security

Secure Hash Algorithm 1

Secure Sockets Layer

Keyed MD5

Message Digest 5

 

Question 14 Chapter 7 Test v2.0

  1. Refer to the exhibit. Which encryption algorithm is described in the exhibit?

RC4

AES

3DES

DES

SEAL

 

  1. Which statement describes asymmetric encryption algorithms?

They have key lengths ranging from 80 to 256 bits.

They include DES, 3DES, and AES.

They are also called shared-secret key algorithms.

They are relatively slow because they are based on difficult computational algorithms.

 

  1. Which two non-secret numbers are initially agreed upon when the Diffie-Hellman algorithm is used? (Choose two.)

binomial coefficient

generator

elliptic curve invariant

prime modulus

topological index

pseudorandom nome

 

  1. In what situation would an asymmetric algorithm most likely be used?

logging onto a computer

making an online purchase

uploading a networking book chapter using FTP

transferring a large stream of data between two corporate locations

 

  1. Why is asymmetric algorithm key management simpler than symmetric algorithm key management?

It uses fewer bits.

Only one key is used.

Two public keys are used for the key exchange.

One of the keys can be made public.

 

  1. What is the purpose of code signing?

source identity secrecy

integrity of source .EXE files

reliable transfer of data

data encryption

 

  1. Which algorithm can ensure data confidentiality?

MD5

PKI

RSA

AES

 

  1. What is the purpose of a digital certificate?

It guarantees that a website has not been hacked.

It authenticates a website and establishes a secure connection to exchange confidential data.

It provides proof that data has a traditional signature attached.

It ensures that the person who is gaining access to a network device is authorized.

 

  1. Fill in the blank.

A shared secret is a key used in a ___ encryption algorithm.

Correct Answer: symmetric 

 

  1. What type of encryption algorithm uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt data?

Diffie-Hellman
Shared-secret
Public-key
Asymmetric

 

  1. How many bits does the Data Encryption Standard (DES) use for data encryption?

40 bits
56 bits
64 bits
72 bits
