| 1: | How many possible keys are there for an 8-bit key?
|
| 2: | Which type of cipher typically acts on small units of data?
|
| 3: | What is the maximum key length available with 3DES?
|
| 4: | The AES has a variable key length. True or False? |
| 5: | The security of the Diffie-Hellman algorithm is based on which of the following?
The secrecy of public values The extreme amount of time required to perform exponentiation The difficulty of factoring large primes The secrecy of g and p values
|
| 6: | What is the length of MD5 output (hash)?
|
| 7: | What is the length of SHA-1 output (hash)?
|
| 8: | What is eavesdropping?
An intruder gains illegitimate access by posing as an individual who actually can access secured resources. An intruder "sniffs" the data transmission between two parties during communications over a public medium. An intruder interrupts a dialogue and modifies the data between the two parties. The intruder would take over the entire session in an extreme case.
