TOPIC 1: ENCRYPTION AND CRYPTOGRAPHY
12 Questions • 9.0% of Exam • Focuses on various encryption methods and principles of cryptography.
QUESTION 1
Asymmetric (public key) encryption
Correct Answer: A cipher technique in which different cryptographic keys are used to encrypt and decrypt a
message Public key—everyone has access. Private key—used to decrypt (only known by owner). Public key
can be used by all your trading partners.
QUESTION 2
Encryption key
Correct Answer: A piece of information, in a digitized form, used by an encryption algorithm to convert the
plaintext to the ciphertext. A secret message.
QUESTION 3
Encryption's Layers:
Correct Answer: First layer- sender hashes message (to ensure integrity) and then encrypts with sender's
own private key (to ensure authenticity). Second layer- sender then encrypts message with receiver's public
key (to ensure confidentiality) When receiver gets message, receiver decrypts with their private key
(confidentiality), then decrypts digital signature with sender's public key (authenticity), then compares has of
decrypted message to the hash that was sent with message (to ensure integrity)
QUESTION 4
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
Correct Answer: Symmetric-key block cipher algorithm and U.S. government standard for secure and
classified data encryption and decryption.
QUESTION 5
Encryption Strength is due to:
Correct Answer: Key strength, algorithm used, & policies concerning encryption keys.
