WGU D483 UPDATED FINAL ASSESSMENT
WITH TESTED TOPIC QUESTIONS
◉ Asymmetric Encryption
Answer: An algorithm that uses one key to encrypt and a different
key to decrypt the input plaintext.
◉ Checksum
Answer: A digit representing the sum of the correct digits in a
piece of stored or transmitted digital data, against which later
comparisons can be made to detect errors in the data.
◉ Ciphertext
Answer: The altered form of a plaintext message so it is
unreadable for anyone except the intended recipients. In other
words, it has been turned into a secret.
◉ Classification
Answer: Classification identifies the degree of harm to the
organization, its stakeholders or others that might result if an
information asset is divulged to an unauthorized person, process
or organization. In short, classification is focused first and
foremost on maintaining the confidentiality of the data, based on
the data sensitivity.
, ◉ Configuration management
Answer: A process and discipline used to ensure that the only
changes made to a system are those that have been authorized
and validated.
◉ Cryptanalyst
Answer: One who performs cryptanalysis which is the study of
mathematical techniques for attempting to defeat cryptographic
techniques and/or information systems security. This includes the
process of looking for errors or weaknesses in the
implementation of an algorithm or of the algorithm itself.
◉ Cryptography
Answer: The study or applications of methods to secure or protect
the meaning and content of messages, files, or other information,
usually by disguise, obscuration, or other transformations of that
content and meaning.
◉ Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Answer: System capabilities designed to detect and prevent the
unauthorized use and transmission of information.
◉ Decryption
Answer: The reverse process from encryption. It is the process of
converting a ciphertext message back into plaintext through the
use of the cryptographic algorithm and the appropriate key for
