11 question exam
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Tokenization | Replacing sensitive data with substitute values that can later be mapped back |
| HSM, and TPM | Dedicated hardware used to securely manage cryptographic keys |
| Steganography | Hiding information within another file |
| CRL | List of certificates that are no longer trusted. |
| An organization stores customer data in a database and transmits that data over the Internet. Explain how cryptography can protect the data both at rest and in transit. | Data at rest can be protected using full disk encryption, database encryption, or file encryption. Data in transit can be protected using TLS or IPsec to prevent unauthorized access while information moves across networks |
| Describe the role of a Certificate Authority (CA) and explain why PKI is important for secure communications. | A Certificate Authority validates identities and issues digital certificates. PKI establishes trust between users and public keys, helping secure communications and supporting authentication. |
| Data actively being processed by a computer is known as: | Data in use |
| Which encryption algorithm is commonly used for bulk data encryption? | AES |
| Which protocol is commonly used to secure web traffice? | TLS |
| In asymmetric encryption, which key is shared with others? | Public key |
| Which PKI component issues digital certificates? | Certificate Authority |
| Which technology stores transactions in linked blocks using cryptographic hashes? | Blockchain |
| What security service does a digital signal provide? | Authentication |
| Which hashing algorithm is considered more secure for modern systems? | SHA-256 |
