NEW QUESTION # 11
(A security analyst uses a polyalphabetic substitution cipher with a keyword of YELLOW to encrypt a message. Which cipher should be used to encrypt the message?)
Answer: D
Explanation:
A polyalphabetic substitution cipher uses multiple substitution alphabets rather than a single fixed mapping.
The classic cipher that uses a keyword to select shifting alphabets across the message is the Vigenere cipher.
In Vigenere, each plaintext letter is shifted by an amount determined by the corresponding key letter (repeating the keyword as needed). For example, a keyword like "YELLOW" is aligned under the plaintext; each key character defines a Caesar shift (A=0, B=1, ...) applied to the plaintext character, producing ciphertext. This rotation of alphabets across positions makes Vigenere more resistant to simple frequency analysis than monoalphabetic substitution, because the same plaintext letter may encrypt to different ciphertext letters depending on its position relative to the key. The Pigpen cipher is a symbol substitution cipher, Caesar is monoalphabetic with a single shift, and Playfair is a digraph substitution cipher using a 5×5 key square, not the repeating-key polyalphabetic method described. Therefore, the correct cipher is Vigenere.
NEW QUESTION # 12
(What is a focus of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard?)
Answer: A
Explanation:
ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Its focus is not inventing cryptographic algorithms, but managing information security through a structured governance approach: identifying assets, assessing risks, selecting and implementing controls, measuring effectiveness, and continuously improving.
The standard emphasizes a risk-based methodology-controls are chosen based on organizational context and threat landscape, and the ISMS is refined over time through audits, management reviews, and corrective actions. While cryptography can be part of the control set (e.g., encryption policies, key management, secure communications), ISO/IEC 27001 addresses a broad range of security domains beyond crypto, including physical security, access control, incident management, supplier relationships, and business continuity. It also does not enforce criminal penalties; it is a certification/management standard. And it is not limited to network security. Therefore, the correct focus is risk management and continuous improvement of information security.
NEW QUESTION # 13
(Which mechanism can be applied to protect the integrity of plaintext when using AES?)
Answer: C
Explanation:
AES by itself is a symmetric block cipher that provides confidentiality, but not guaranteed integrity unless used in an authenticated mode. To protect integrity of the plaintext (ensuring it has not been altered), a Message Authentication Code (MAC) can be applied. In the classic Encrypt-then-MAC pattern, the sender encrypts the plaintext with AES and then computes a MAC (often HMAC-SHA-256 or CMAC-AES) over the ciphertext (and relevant headers). The receiver verifies the MAC before attempting decryption, preventing tampering and many padding-oracle style vulnerabilities.
Alternatively, AES can be used in an AEAD mode like AES-GCM, which produces an authentication tag serving a similar purpose, but among the listed options the general integrity mechanism is "MAC." RC4 is an unrelated stream cipher and does not provide integrity. RSA is asymmetric and not the standard integrity add-on for AES-encrypted bulk data. Kerberos is an authentication protocol and key distribution system, not a message integrity primitive. Therefore, to protect plaintext integrity when using AES, the correct mechanism is a Message Authentication Code.
NEW QUESTION # 14
(How can auditing enhance an organization ' s cryptographic practices?)
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 15
(What is an alternative to using a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) with certificates?)
Answer: C
Explanation:
OCSP is the primary online alternative to CRLs for checking whether a certificate has been revoked. With a CRL, a relying party periodically downloads a list of revoked certificate serial numbers published by the issuing CA (or CRL distribution point). That approach can be bandwidth-heavy, introduces latency between revocation and client awareness, and can result in clients using stale revocation data if updates are infrequent.
OCSP improves this by allowing a client (or a server on the client's behalf) to query an OCSP responder in near real time about the status of a specific certificate (good, revoked, or unknown). In practice, many TLS deployments use OCSP stapling, where the server periodically fetches a signed OCSP response from the CA's responder and "staples" it to the TLS handshake, reducing client-side network calls and improving privacy (the CA doesn't learn which site the client is visiting). Thus, OCSP provides a more timely, certificate- specific revocation status mechanism than CRLs while preserving the CA's signed assurance.
