Why are hashing algorithms more secure? 23.2.5
-
A. They're a type of encryption.
-
B. They are completely randomized.
-
C. They cannot be hacked.
Correct Answer
A. A. They're a type of encryption.Explanation
Hashing algorithms are more secure because they are a type of encryption. Encryption is the process of converting data into a form that cannot be easily understood by unauthorized individuals. Hashing algorithms use mathematical functions to transform input data into a fixed-size string of characters, known as a hash value. This hash value is unique to each input, making it difficult to reverse-engineer the original data. Therefore, hashing algorithms provide a secure way to store and transmit sensitive information without revealing the actual data.Rate this question:

Which encryption method is most secure? 24.4.2
-
A. Hashing algorithms.
-
B. Salted hashes.
-
C. Blowfish.
Correct Answer
A. B. Salted hashes.Explanation
Salted hashes are considered the most secure encryption method because they add an extra layer of protection to the hashing process. A salt is a random string of characters that is added to the plaintext before it is hashed. This makes it much more difficult for attackers to crack the hash through techniques like rainbow tables, as they would need to generate a separate rainbow table for each unique salt. Therefore, salted hashes provide stronger protection against password cracking and other attacks compared to hashing algorithms or Blowfish encryption alone.Rate this question:

My computer has Anti-virus and Anti-spyware, am I safe? 23.1.2
-
A. Yes.
-
B. No.
Correct Answer
A. B. No.Explanation
The presence of anti-virus and anti-spyware on a computer does not guarantee complete safety. While these software can provide a certain level of protection against viruses and spyware, they are not foolproof. New threats are constantly emerging, and there is always a possibility that these security measures may not be able to detect or prevent them. It is important to regularly update the software and practice safe browsing habits to enhance overall security.Rate this question:

Which of the following is most dangerous? 23.1.8
-
A. Network worm.
-
B. Trojan.
-
C. Keylogger.
Correct Answer
A. A. Network worm.Explanation
A network worm is considered the most dangerous among the options given because it has the ability to replicate itself and spread across a network without any user interaction. Once it infects a system, it can quickly spread to other connected devices, causing widespread damage and disruption. Network worms can also carry payloads that can further compromise security, such as stealing sensitive information or launching additional attacks. In comparison, a Trojan is a type of malware that appears harmless but can perform malicious actions once installed, and a keylogger is a specific type of malware that records keystrokes, potentially capturing sensitive information. However, neither of these options have the same potential for rapid and widespread damage as a network worm.Rate this question:

How is a government supposed to aid in developing new standards? 23.1.3
-
A. Waiting until it is absolutely necessary for new standards.
-
B. Listen to big companies to know when to develop them.
-
C. Develop standards as the need begins to arise.
Correct Answer
A. C. Develop standards as the need begins to arise.Explanation
A government is supposed to aid in developing new standards by developing them as the need begins to arise. This means that the government should be proactive in identifying emerging needs and trends in various industries and sectors, and then take the necessary steps to establish standards that address these needs. Waiting until it is absolutely necessary or solely relying on big companies for guidance may result in delays and missed opportunities for the government to provide effective support and regulation in developing new standards. Therefore, developing standards as the need begins to arise ensures timely and relevant standards that can support innovation and growth.Rate this question:

Why is data theft illegal? 23.1.5
-
A. Invasion of privacy.
-
B. Invasion of other peoples' rights.
-
C. Both A and B.
Correct Answer
A. C. Both A and B.Explanation
Data theft is illegal because it involves the invasion of privacy and infringes upon the rights of others. By stealing someone's data, an individual or organization gains unauthorized access to personal information, which violates the privacy of the data owner. Additionally, data theft can lead to various forms of harm, such as identity theft or financial loss, which further violates the rights of the affected individuals. Therefore, both invasion of privacy and invasion of other peoples' rights are valid reasons for the illegality of data theft.Rate this question:

What is a hashing algorithm? 23.2.5
-
A. A form of password encryption.
-
B. A math equation.
-
C. A cooking recipe.
Correct Answer
A. A. A form of password encryption.Explanation
A hashing algorithm is a method used to encrypt passwords. It takes an input (such as a password) and converts it into a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a combination of letters and numbers. This encrypted string is then stored in a database instead of the actual password, providing an extra layer of security. When a user enters their password, it is hashed and compared to the stored hash to determine if it is correct. Therefore, a hashing algorithm is not a math equation or a cooking recipe, but rather a form of password encryption.Rate this question:

If employees disclose personal customer information, what action should be taken? 23.2.6
-
A. Fired.
-
B. Reprimanded.
-
C. No action.
Correct Answer
A. A. Fired.Explanation
If employees disclose personal customer information, the appropriate action to be taken is to fire them. Disclosing personal customer information is a serious breach of trust and privacy, and it can have severe consequences for both the company and the affected customers. By firing the employees, the company sends a strong message that such behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. This action helps to protect the company's reputation and maintain customer trust in their data security measures.Rate this question:

Which wireless protocol has a standard bandwidth of 54 MBPs but in reality it only has about a 2 MBPs bandwidth? 24.4.2
-
A. 802.11b.
-
B. 802.11n.
-
C. 802.11a.
Correct Answer
A. C. 802.11a.Explanation
The correct answer is C. 802.11a.
The 802.11a wireless protocol has a standard bandwidth of 54 Mbps. However, in reality, it only has about a 2 Mbps bandwidth. This is because 802.11a operates on a higher frequency band (5 GHz) compared to other protocols like 802.11b and 802.11n, which operate on the 2.4 GHz band. The higher frequency band used by 802.11a allows for faster data transmission, but it also has a shorter range and is more susceptible to interference, resulting in a lower actual bandwidth.Rate this question:

B. 802.11a.
-
C. 802.11b.
Correct Answer
A. A. 802.11n.Explanation
802.11n is the correct answer because it is a wireless protocol that has a standard bandwidth of over 100 Mbps. In reality, it can achieve speeds of up to 128 Mbps, making it the protocol with the highest bandwidth among the options given. 802.11a and 802.11b have lower standard and actual bandwidths compared to 802.11n.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. A. Noone's fingerprints are the same.Explanation
Fingerprinting is a very secure authentication method because no two individuals have the same fingerprints. The unique patterns and ridges on each person's fingers make it nearly impossible for someone to replicate or forge another person's fingerprints. This uniqueness ensures that only the authorized individual can access the system or device, making it a highly secure method of authentication.Rate this question:
