-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation

A strong password can be similar to a previously used password.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
A strong password should not be similar to a previously used password because reusing passwords increases the risk of compromise. If a previous password is compromised, using a similar password makes it easier for attackers to guess the new one. To ensure security, it is recommended to create unique and complex passwords that are not similar to any previously used passwords.Rate this question:

Which of the following is a benefit of implementing a public key infrastructure (PKI)?
-
Users no longer need to remember passwords.
-
All information is stored on the smart card, making it difficult for anyone except the intended user to use or access it.
-
Smart cards can be used from remote locations, such as a home office, to provide authentication services.
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
The benefits of implementing a PKI include: users no longer need to remember passwords; all information is stored on the smart card, making it difficult for anyone except the intended user to use or access it; security operations, such as cryptographic functions, are performed on the smart card itself rather than on the network server or local computer; smart cards can be used from remote locations, such as a home office, to provide authentication services; and the risk of remote attacks using a username and password is significantly reduced by smart cards.Rate this question:
