    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Enrollment agent certificates are indeed generated by the enterprise CA (Certificate Authority).

    A strong password can be similar to a previously used password.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    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.

    OUs represent the functional or geographical model of your company so that resources can be placed according to the users who need them.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    OUs, or Organizational Units, are used to represent the functional or geographical model of a company. This means that resources can be organized and placed according to the specific users who require them. By utilizing OUs, companies can effectively manage and allocate resources based on the needs and structure of their organization. Therefore, the statement that OUs represent the functional or geographical model of a company so that resources can be placed according to the users who need them is true.

    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 above
    Explanation
    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.
