◍ Availability.
Answer: the property that information is accessible and modifiable in a
timely fashion by those authorized to do so.
◍ Currently apps that run on the Cloud are __________ as compared to apps
that run on local machines. Edge computing is a method of optimizing cloud
, computing systems by performing data processing at the edge of the
network, near the source of the data and it is possible that cloud computing
may take a back seat to edge computing.
Answer: slower
◍ Integrity.
Answer: the property that information has not been altered in an
unauthorized way.
◍ Keylogger.
Answer: a program that captures user's keystrokes
◍ In its Building 8 labs, Facebook has been developing a technology that may

◍ Like all trusted platform modules (TPMs), the Pluton chip stores encryption
keys and user login identities. What makes the Pluton unique is that it
emulates a TPM for each specific API, whether the API is on the computer's
hard drive or in the cloud. API stands for application programming _____..
Answer: Interface
◍ Facebook's Building 8 is an innovation-driven business unit that is working
on a Brain-_____ Interface..
Answer: Computer
◍ Brute force attack.
Answer: Try all possible keys and determine the decryption
◍ Encryption.
Answer: the transformation of information using a secret called an
encryption key, so that the transformed information can only be read using
another secret, called the decryption key (which is some cases, may be the
same as the encryption key).
◍ NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and _____ Administration..
Answer: Space
, ◍ Spyware.
Answer: a software that gathers information without user consent

whose components are of a nanometer scale. These machines detect diseases
and can repair or manipulate damaged cells, potentially providing humans
with longer lifespans..
Answer: nano
◍ Trojan horse.
Answer: is a malware program that appears to perform some useful task, but
which also does something with negative consequences (e.g., launches a key
logger).
◍ James Bond used to carry a secret spy camera. That would not be necessary
if he wears the new contact lenses being developed by _____ . They can
record and play video as well as take photos..
Answer: sony
◍ Recently, scientists at Hong Kong-based Insilico Medicine and the
University of Toronto used ______ algorithms to synthesize several drug
candidates, which demonstrated the strategy can work. Firms at the forefront
of this new strategy are Insilico Medicine, Kebotix, and Atomwise. The
technology is expected to be widely available within 3-5 years..
Answer: AI/ Artificial Intellegence
◍ Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Mode.
Answer: the previous ciphertext block is combined with the current plaintext
block
◍ Back orifice.
Answer: distributed as email attachment; not show in task manager;
backdoor to steal information
◍ An electronic element that stores data by changing its resistance based on
the current that has passed through it (similar to RRAM) is called a(n).
