WGU D483 EXAM PAPER ALREADY
PASSED WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
◉ Encryption System
Answer: The total set of algorithms, processes, hardware,
software, and procedures that taken together provide an
encryption and decryption capability.
◉ Hardening
Answer: A reference to the process of applying secure
configurations (to reduce the attack surface) and locking down
various hardware, communications systems, and software,
including operating system, web server, application server,
application, etc. Hardening is normally performed based on
industry guidelines and benchmarks, such as those provided by
the Center for Internet Security (CIS).
◉ Hash Function
Answer: An algorithm that computes a numerical value (called the
hash value) on a data file or electronic message that is used to
represent that file or message and depends on the entire contents
of the file or message. A hash function can be considered to be a
fingerprint of the file or message. NIST SP 800-152
◉ Hashing
, Answer: The process of using a mathematical algorithm against
data to produce a numeric value that is representative of that
data. Source CNSSI 4009-2015
◉ Information Sharing
Answer: The requirements for information sharing by an IT
system with one or more other IT systems or applications, for
information sharing to support multiple internal or external
organizations, missions, or public programs. NIST SP 800-16
◉ Ingress Monitoring
Answer: Monitoring of incoming network traffic.
◉ Message Digest
Answer: A digital signature that uniquely identifies data and has
the property such that changing a single bit in the data will cause
a completely different message digest to be generated. NISTIR-
8011 Vol.3
◉ Operating System
Answer: The software "master control application" that runs the
computer. It is the first program loaded when the computer is
turned on, and its main component, the kernel, resides in memory
at all times. The operating system sets the standards for all
application programs (such as the Web server) that run in the
computer. The applications communicate with the operating
