- Aintegrity
2[blank_start]56[blank_end] bits long is for Data Encryption Standard (DES) use for data encryption.
- A56
3The type of encryption algorithm that uses public and private keys to provide authentication, integrity, and confidentiality [blank_start]asymmetric[blank_end].
- Aasymmetric
4A shared secret is a key used in a [blank_start]symmetric[blank_end] encryption algorithm
- Asymmetric
5The SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hash functions are known collectively as [blank_start]SHA-2[blank_end] algorithms.
- ASHA-2
6What is the purpose of the DH algorithm?
- Ato provide nonrepudiation support
- Bto support email data confidentiality
- Cto generate a shared secret between two hosts that have not communicated before
- Dto encrypt data traffic after a VPN is established
7Why is the 3DES algorithm often preferred over the AES algorithm?
- AAES is more expensive to implement than 3DES.
- B3DES performs better in high-throughput, low-latency environments than AES.
- CMajor networking equipment vendors such as Cisco have not yet adopted AES.
- D3DES is more trusted because it has been proven secure for a longer period than AES.
8What is the reason for HMAC to use an additional secret key as input to the hash function?
- Ato provide encryption
- Bto prevent DoS attacks
- Cto provide authentication
- Dto provide integrity verification
9A network administrator is forced to use DES on aging equipment. What is one thing the administrator should do in this situation?
- AUse ECC instead of parity.
- BImplement CBC mode.
- CIncrease the number of bits used for encryption.
- DIncrease the key length.

15What is the purpose of a nonrepudiation service in secure communications?
- Ato ensure that encrypted secure communications cannot be decoded
- Bto confirm the identity of the recipient of the communications
- Cto provide the highest encryption level possible
- Dto ensure that the source of the communications is confirmed
16What is the most common use of the Diffie-Helman algorithm in communications security?
- Ato secure the exchange of keys used to encrypt data
- Bto create password hashes for secure authentication

17An online retailer needs a service to support the nonrepudiation of the transaction. Which component is used for this service?
- Athe private key of the retailer
- Bthe unique shared secret known only by the retailer and the customer
- Cthe public key of the retailer
- Dthe digital signatures
18What is a difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms?
- ASymmetric algorithms are typically hundreds to thousands of times slower than asymmetric algorithms.
- BSymmetric encryption algorithms are used to authenticate secure communications. Asymmetric encryption algorithms are used to repudiate messages.
- CSymmetric encryption algorithms are used to encrypt data. Asymmetric encryption algorithms are used to decrypt data.
- DSymmetric encryption algorithms use pre-shared keys. Asymmetric encryption algorithms use different keys to encrypt and decrypt data.
