Question #1

What is the name of a one way transformation of a string of characters into a usually shorter fixedlength value or key that represents the original string? Such a transformation cannot be reversed?

  • A. One-way hash
  • B. DES
  • C. Transposition
  • D. Substitution
Answer: A
Explanation:
A cryptographic hash function is a transformation that takes an input (or 'message') and returns a
fixed-size string, which is called the hash value (sometimes termed a message digest, a digital
fingerprint, a digest or a checksum).
The ideal hash function has three main properties - it is extremely easy to calculate a hash for any
given data, it is extremely difficult or almost impossible in a practical sense to calculate a text that
has a given hash, and it is extremely unlikely that two different messages, however close, will
have the same hash.
Functions with these properties are used as hash functions for a variety of purposes, both within
and outside cryptography. Practical applications include message integrity checks, digital
signatures, authentication, and various information security applications. A hash can also act as a
concise representation of the message or document from which it was computed, and allows easy
indexing of duplicate or unique data files.
In various standards and applications, the two most commonly used hash functions are MD5 and
SHA-1. In 2005, security flaws were identified in both of these, namely that a possible
mathematical weakness might exist, indicating that a stronger hash function would be desirable. In
2007 the National Institute of Standards and Technology announced a contest to design a hash
function which will be given the name SHA-3 and be the subject of a FIPS standard.
A hash function takes a string of any length as input and produces a fixed length string which acts
as a kind of "signature" for the data provided. In this way, a person knowing the hash is unable to
work out the original message, but someone knowing the original message can prove the hash is
created from that message, and none other. A cryptographic hash function should behave as
much as possible like a random function while still being deterministic and efficiently computable.
A cryptographic hash function is considered "insecure" from a cryptographic point of view, if either
of the following is computationally feasible:
finding a (previously unseen) message that matches a given digest
finding "collisions", wherein two different messages have the same message digest.
An attacker who can do either of these things might, for example, use them to substitute an
authorized message with an unauthorized one.
Ideally, it should not even be feasible to find two messages whose digests are substantially
similar; nor would one want an attacker to be able to learn anything useful about a message given
only its digest. Of course the attacker learns at least one piece of information, the digest itself,
which for instance gives the attacker the ability to recognise the same message should it occur
again.

Question #2

What kind of Encryption technology does SSL utilize?

  • A. Secret or Symmetric key
  • B. Hybrid (both Symmetric and Asymmetric)
  • C. Public Key
  • D. Private key
Answer: B
Explanation:
SSL use public-key cryptography to secure session key, while the session key (secret key) is used
to secure the whole session taking place between both parties communicating with each other.
The SSL protocol was originally developed by Netscape. Version 1.0 was never publicly released;
version 2.0 was released in February 1995 but "contained a number of security flaws which
ultimately led to the design of SSL version 3.0." SSL version 3.0, released in 1996, was a
complete redesign of the protocol produced by Paul Kocher working with Netscape engineers Phil
Karlton and Alan Freier.
All of the other answers are incorrect

Question #3

The computations involved in selecting keys and in enciphering data are complex, and are notpractical for manual use. However, using mathematical properties of modular arithmetic and amethod known as "_________________," RSA is quite feasible for computer use.

  • A. computing in Galois fields
  • B. computing in Gladden fields
  • C. computing in Gallipoli fields
  • D. computing in Galbraith fields
Answer: A
Explanation:
The computations involved in selecting keys and in enciphering data are complex, and are not
practical for manual use. However, using mathematical properties of modular arithmetic and a
method known as computing in Galois fields, RSA is quite feasible for computer use.

Question #4

Which of the following is true about digital certificate?

  • A. It is the same as digital signature proving Integrity and Authenticity of the data
  • B. Electronic credential proving that the person the certificate was issued to is who they claim to be
  • C. You can only get digital certificate from Verisign, RSA if you wish to prove the key belong to a specific user.
  • D. Can't contain geography data such as country for example.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Digital certificate helps others verify that the public keys presented by users are genuine and valid.
It is a form of Electronic credential proving that the person the certificate was issued to is who they
claim to be.
The certificate is used to identify the certificate holder when conducting electronic transactions.
It is issued by a certification authority (CA). It contains the name of an organization or individual,
the business address, a serial number, expiration dates, a copy of the certificate holder's public
key (used for encrypting messages), and the digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority so
that a recipient can verify that the certificate is real. Some digital certificates conform to a
standard, X.509. Digital certificates can be kept in registries so that authenticating users can look
up other users' public keys.
Digital certificates are key to the PKI process. The digital certificate serves two roles. First, it
ensures the integrity of the public key and makes sure that the key remains unchanged and in a
valid state. Second, it validates that the public key is tied to the stated owner and that all
associated information is true and correct. The information needed to accomplish these goals is
added into the digital certificate.
A Certificate Authority (CA) is an entity trusted by one or more users as an authority in a network
that issues, revokes, and manages digital certificates.
A Registration Authority (RA) performs certificate registration services on behalf of a CA. The RA,
a single purpose server, is responsible for the accuracy of the information contained in a certificate
request. The RA is also expected to perform user validation before issuing a certificate request.
A Digital Certificate is not like same as a digital signature, they are two different things, a digital
Signature is created by using your Private key to encrypt a message digest and a Digital
Certificate is issued by a trusted third party who vouch for your identity.
There are many other third parties which are providing Digital Certifictes and not just Verisign,
RSA.
