Answers
128 - CORRECT ANSWER - The hash value in bits for MD5 is ____.
A. 128
B. 160
C. 256
variable; fixed - CORRECT ANSWER - Hashing involves taking a _____ length input and
producing a _____ length output (message digest).
A. fixed; fixed
B. variable; fixed
C. fixed; variable
160 - CORRECT ANSWER - The hash value in bits for SHA-1 is ____.
A. 128
B. 160
C. 256
128 - CORRECT ANSWER - The hash value in bits for MD4 is ____.
A. 128
B. 160
C. 256
Transport - CORRECT ANSWER - IPSec ______ mode involves "end-to-end" encryption;
i.e. data remains encrypted from the time it leaves a sender's device to the time it arrives at the
receiver's device.
,A. Tunnel
B. Transport
C. Trusted
Tunnel - CORRECT ANSWER - IPSec ______ mode involves encryption from gateway to
gateway, i.e. just through the public network space.
A. Tunnel
B. Transport
C. Trusted
Tunnel
Remember, with tunnel mode, encryption does not happen until just before it leaves the local
network. Traffic likely remains unencrypted between the end user device and the local network
boundary. - CORRECT ANSWER - A security analyst on a local network using
monitoring tools is likely to only be able to read contents of traffic encrypted using IPSec
______ mode.
A. Tunnel
B. Transport
C. Trusted
Chaskey - CORRECT ANSWER - _____ is a lightweight cryptography method for signing
messages (MAC). It boasts a relatively undemanding hardware implementation (only ~3,333
gates required at 1MHz clock rate) making it suitable for IoT implementation.
128 - CORRECT ANSWER - Chaskey has a key size of _____ bits.
A. 256
B. 128
C. 80
,salt - CORRECT ANSWER - A weakness of one-way hashing is that the same piece of
plaintext will result in the same ciphertext unless _____ is applied.
A. Salt
B. Ash
C. Ether
40 - CORRECT ANSWER - The minimum recommended key size to use with RC4 is
_____ bits.
A. 40
B. 20
