About cryptography and encryption quizzes
GoConqr OriginalWhat the cryptography and encryption quizzes cover
The quizzes on this page offer questions on topics from basic concepts to advanced cryptography. One practice quiz asks about encoding characters and hiding their value. Another covers ciphertext, plaintext and the Vernam cipher. You can also find questions on collision attacks, digital certificates, elliptic curve cryptography and key generation.
Choose a starting point
Start with the first concept practice quiz if you want to check your grasp of general cryptography terms. For a more specific focus, the basic cryptography chapter quiz includes questions on hash collisions, while the advanced chapter quiz asks about certificates. The CCNA Security chapter quiz includes symmetric encryption and hashing questions.
After a quiz, note the questions you found difficult and revisit those topics. If you want a different way to review them, switch to notes, mind maps or flashcards on the unit page before returning to the questions. Pick a topic and try a quiz when you are ready.
Frequently asked questions
Which quiz is a useful starting point?
