WGU C839V5/D334 PRACTICE
EXAMINATION 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Pseudocode.
Answer: an informal high-level description of the operating principle of a
computer program or other algorithm. Used for human reading, rather than
machine reading, and it can be used to translate into any programming
language.
◍ Worms.
Answer: Self contained programs that do not need other programs to
propagate across computers and computer networks
◍ Falsifying Identification.
Answer: Authentication requirements help prevent this crime
◍ Government Regulations on Security.
Answer: Enact and enforce security; manage and retain documentation.
◍ Output.
Answer: Components include internal storage devices or processes, as well
as external peripherals such as monitor screens (visual output), speakers
(audio output), and printers (physical output).
◍ Product differentiation (business strategy).
Answer: offering a higher quality product to differentiate from others in the
market
◍ SEAL.
Answer: The Digital Signature and Electronic Authentication Law (SEAL)
of 1998.
,◍ 80; 80.
Answer: The light-weight symmetric steam cipher Mickey v2 operates with
a key size of ______ bits and an initialization vector (IV) variable up to
_____ bits.A. 80; 80B. 64; 128C. 128; 64
◍ biometrics.
Answer: Unique physical characteristics of an individual, such as the color
patterns in an iris, fingerprints, or handprints
◍ Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4).
Answer: Streaming symmetric algorithm one round of encryption. key sizes
from 40 to 2048 bits in length
◍ This allows a new unique passcode to be created each instance, based on a
counter value and an initial seed..
Answer: Hashed One Time Password (HOTP)
◍ denying access.
Answer: an act that prevents a party from accessing something, such as
logging on to a machine or entering the lobby of our building after hours
◍ Mono- alphabetic substitution cipher that makes use of mapping plaintext
characters to graphical characters rather than to alphabetic ones. i.e. A=(pick
a symbol), vs A=(pick a letter). Disadvantage: once the mapping is known,
it is difficult to keep the message secret..
Answer: Pigpen
◍ MDM (mobile device management).
Answer: a solution that manages security elements for mobile devices in the
workplace
◍ Print Server.
Answer: Monitors print jobs
◍ used for password based encryption.
Answer: pkcs 5
◍ Intranet.
, Answer: A LAN that uses the Internet Protocol
◍ limiting access.
Answer: An act that allows some access to a given resource, but only up to a
certain point
◍ ETL.
Answer: Extract Transform, Load; process of extracting data, transforming it
for purposes of analysis, and loading it into the final target database.
◍ rainbow table.
Answer: A(n) _____ is a collection of precomputed hash values of actual
plaintext passwords used for password cracking.A. initialization vectorB.
key pairC. rainbow table
◍ variable; fixed.
Answer: Hashing involves taking a _____ length input and producing a
_____ length output (message digest).A. fixed; fixedB. variable; fixedC.
fixed; variable
◍ bounds checking.
Answer: to set a limit on the amount of data we expect to receive to set aside
storage for that data*required in most programming languages* prevents
buffer overflows
◍ acceptability.
Answer: A measure of how agreeable a particular characteristic is to the
users of a system
◍ Defense in Depth.
Answer: Protecting every layer that surrounds data
◍ Hacking.
Answer: When an individual obtains unauthorized access to a host
◍ are symmetric streams upper or lowercase.
Answer: lowercase after first letter
◍ Considered un-breakable since it only uses its cipher code once..
