Symmetric algorithms support confidentiality, but not authentication and nonrepudiation.

True/False

True

AES uses a 128-bit key and is used in PGP encryption software.

True/False

False

Symmetric algorithms use two keys that are mathematically related.

False

Asymmetric algorithms are more scalable than symmetric algorithms.

True/False

True

ECC is an efficient algorithm requiring few hardware resources, so it's a perfect candidate for wireless devices and cell phones.

True/False

True

Cryptography is the process of converting plaintext, which is readable text, into unreadable or encrypted text called which of the following.

ciphertext

Which of the following is the process of converting ciphertext back into plaintext.

decryption

What type of cryptography is demonstrated by reversing the alphabet so A becomes Z, B becomes Y, and so on?

RSA

What encryption algorithm is efficient requiring few resources, and is based on complex algebra and calculations on curves?

ECC

Which of the following is a function that takes a variable-length string or message and produces a fixed-length string message digest?

hashing algorithm

A certificate contains a unique serial number and must follow which standard that describes the creating of a certificate?

X.509

In what type of attack does the attacker have the ciphertext of several messages that were encrypted with the same encryption algorithm, but has no access to the plaintext so he or she must try to calculate the key used to encrypt the data?

ciphertext-only

What type of attack is being performed when the attacker has access to plaintext and ciphertext, and can choose which messages to encrypt?

chosen-plaintext

What type of attack is being conducted when the attacker has messages in both encrypted form and decrypted forms?

known plaintext

In what type of attack does the attacker need access to cryptosystem, and the ciphertext to be decrypted to yield the desired plaintext results?

chosen-chiphertext

What type of attack is being attempted when an attacker uses a password-cracking program to guess passwords by attempting every possible combination of letters?

brute force

When an attacker has access to a password file, they can run a password-cracking program that uses a dictionary of known words or passwords as an input file. What type of attack is this attacker performing?

dictionary

What type of attack is being performed when an attacker intercepts the initial communications between a Web server and a Web browser while forcing a vulnerable server to insecurely renegotiate the encryption being used down to a weaker cipher?

SSL/TLS downgrade attack

Which of the following is a scripting language for Windows and Linux that performs repetitive tasks, such as password cracking?

EXPECT
