Which of the following attack is best prevented by a strong encryption services that are based on cryptography only?
- A.
DoS
- B.
Mapping
- C.
Social Engineering
- D.
Trojan
Correct Answer
B. MappingExplanation
A strong encryption service based on cryptography can effectively prevent mapping attacks. Mapping attacks involve gathering information about a network or system to identify vulnerabilities and potential points of entry. By encrypting the data, it becomes extremely difficult for attackers to decipher and gain insights into the network or system's structure and weaknesses. This ensures that even if attackers manage to intercept the encrypted data, they will not be able to extract any valuable information from it. Therefore, a strong encryption service based on cryptography is the best defense against mapping attacks.Rate this question:
