Encryption️ Intermediate Quiz 2

A protocol for securely exchanging cryptographic keys over public channels A standard hashing algorithm used for verifying the integrity of data A legacy type of computer hardware designed for high-speed computation

The performance of simple addition across multiple hardware registers The efficiency of sorting large lists of integers into ascending order The difficulty of factoring the product of two very large prime numbers

An encryption method that protects data using circular geometric logic Public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves A specialized encryption protocol designed specifically for smart appliances

It provides equivalent security levels using much smaller cryptographic keys It converts complex ciphertext into strings that are easily read by humans It executes encryption tasks automatically without requiring mathematical logic

A permanent master key that is shared by all authorized users on a network A temporary key generated specifically for one single session or execution A physical security key that is printed directly onto an employee access card

By utilizing static RSA keys that remain unchanged across multiple sessions By requiring all participants to use a single shared administrative password By using ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE or ECDHE) for every key exchange

Using an algorithm to turn a weak password into a stronger and longer key Manually increasing the physical size of a USB drive to increase storage Distributing a single encryption key across a large network of computers

SHA-1 PBKDF2 MD5-X7

A security function that deletes sensitive user data immediately after use A physical locking mechanism used to hide secret servers in secure closets A function that is easy to compute but very hard to reverse without a secret

A scenario where the end-user forgets their primary decryption password Making the relationship between the key and the ciphertext very complex An error that occurs when mixing up two different encrypted files or keys
