,1. Multiple Choice: What protocol is primarily used for secure file
transfer over the internet?
a) FTP
b) HTTP
c) SFTP
d) SMTP
Correct ANS: c) SFTP
Rationale: SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is used for
secure file transfer over the internet, providing an encrypted
channel.
2. Fill-in-the-Blank: The ______ protocol is the foundation of
data communication for the World Wide Web.
Correct ANS: HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)
Rationale: HTTP is the protocol used for transmitting web pages
over the internet.
3. True/False: IPv6 provides a larger address space than IPv4.
Correct ANS: True
Rationale: IPv6 allows for a vastly larger address space than
IPv4, with its 128-bit address length compared to IPv4's 32-bit.

,4. Multiple Response: Which of the following are characteristics
of cloud computing? (Select all that apply)
a) On-demand self-service
b) Broad network access
c) Resource pooling
d) Limited scalability
Correct ANSs: a) On-demand self-service, b) Broad network
access, c) Resource pooling
Rationale: Cloud computing is known for its on-demand self-
service, broad network access, and resource pooling. Limited
scalability is not a characteristic of cloud computing; in fact,
cloud services typically offer high scalability.
5. Multiple Choice: Which layer of the OSI model is responsible
for end-to-end communication and error recovery?
a) Transport
b) Network
c) Data Link
d) Presentation
Correct ANS: a) Transport
Rationale: The Transport layer of the OSI model provides end-
to-end communication services and error recovery.

, 6. Fill-in-the-Blank: ______ is a protocol used for encrypting
internet traffic and verifying server identity.
Correct ANS: TLS (Transport Layer Security)
Rationale: TLS is a widely adopted security protocol designed
to facilitate privacy and data security for communications over the
internet.
7. True/False: The Domain Name System (DNS) translates
domain names into IP addresses.
Correct ANS: True
Rationale: DNS is a hierarchical decentralized naming system
for computers, services, or other resources connected to the
internet or a private network that translates human-readable
domain names to machine-readable IP addresses.
8. Multiple Response: Which of the following are true about
digital certificates? (Select all that apply)
a) They confirm the owner's identity.
b) They are issued by the user.
c) They use public key cryptography.
d) They can be self-signed.
Correct ANSs: a) They confirm the owner's identity, c) They
use public key cryptography, d) They can be self-signed.
