NEW QUESTION # 15
(Which mechanism implemented in WPA-Enterprise guards against bit-flipping exploits?)
Answer: D
Explanation:
Bit-flipping exploits target encryption modes or protocols that do not provide strong integrity, allowing attackers to modify ciphertext so that predictable changes occur in plaintext after decryption. To defend against this, protocols add an integrity mechanism that detects tampering. In WPA (including enterprise deployments), TKIP introduced a Message Integrity Check (MIC) called "Michael." The MIC is computed over the frame contents (with additional fields) and verified by the receiver; if an attacker flips bits in transit, the MIC verification fails, and the frame is rejected. While AES (used by WPA2's CCMP) also provides integrity via authenticated encryption, the option presented that directly names the tamper-detection mechanism associated with guarding against bit-flipping is MIC. A pre- shared key is an authentication/keying method (and not enterprise-mode anyway), and a "global encryption key" would be the opposite of what you want-global/static keys worsen security.
Therefore, the intended mechanism that mitigates bit-flipping by detecting unauthorized modifications is the Message Integrity Check.
NEW QUESTION # 16
(Which component is used to verify the integrity of a message?)
Answer: C
Explanation:
HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) is a standard mechanism used to verify both integrity and authenticity of a message when two parties share a secret key. It combines a cryptographic hash function (such as SHA-256) with a secret key in a structured way that resists common attacks on naive keyed-hash constructions. The sender computes an HMAC tag over the message and transmits the message plus tag. The receiver recomputes the HMAC using the same shared secret key and compares the result; if the tag matches, the receiver can be confident the message was not modified in transit and that it came from someone who knows the shared key. AES is an encryption algorithm primarily providing confidentiality; it can provide integrity only when used in authenticated modes (e.g., GCM) but "AES" alone is not the integrity component. An IV helps randomize encryption but does not validate integrity. TKIP is a legacy WLAN protocol component, not the general integrity verifier. Therefore, the correct component for verifying message integrity among the options is HMAC.
NEW QUESTION # 17
(Why are large prime numbers important in cryptography?)
Answer: D
Explanation:
Large prime numbers are crucial because they enable cryptosystems where certain operations are easy to perform, but reversing them is computationally hard without secret information. In RSA, security is based on the difficulty of factoring a large composite number that is the product of two large primes; multiplying primes is easy, but factoring the product is believed to be hard at sufficient sizes. In Diffie-Hellman and related systems, primes define finite groups (often modulo a large prime) where exponentiation is efficient but the discrete logarithm problem is hard. Primes also help ensure desirable group properties-such as having a large cyclic subgroup-reducing vulnerabilities from small subgroups or weak structure. The value of "large" is that it makes brute-force and known algorithmic attacks infeasible with current computing resources. Large primes do not primarily make encryption faster, nor do they make decryption easier; they are chosen to maximize security margins. While primes can be involved in encoding steps, their importance is security: they form the mathematical foundation for hardness assumptions used by major public-key algorithms. Therefore, the best answer is that they provide security in encryption algorithms.
NEW QUESTION # 18
(Why should an administrator choose lightweight cryptography?)
Answer: C
Explanation:
Lightweight cryptography is designed for constrained environments-devices with limited CPU, memory, storage, bandwidth, and power (battery). Examples include IoT sensors, smart locks, RFID tags, embedded controllers, and industrial devices. Administrators choose lightweight algorithms and protocols to maintain reasonable security while fitting strict resource budgets and real-time constraints.
The goal is not "weaker security because data is unimportant," but rather efficient security that can still meet threat models under constraints. Option B captures this: embedded systems often cannot afford the computational cost of heavy cryptographic primitives (large key sizes, complex modes, frequent handshakes) or may struggle with latency and energy consumption. Option A is irrelevant because physical security of a desktop doesn't remove the need for cryptography in communications or storage. Option C is the opposite of lightweight design. Option D is a poor justification; security design should be based on risk, and lightweight cryptography is not merely for "minimal protection," but for practical deployability under constraints. Therefore, the correct reason is limited resources on embedded systems.
NEW QUESTION # 19
(Which certificate encoding process is binary-based?)
Answer: B
Explanation:
DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) is a binary encoding format used to represent ASN.1 structures in a canonical, unambiguous way. X.509 certificates are defined using ASN.1, and DER provides a strict subset of BER (Basic Encoding Rules) that guarantees a single, unique encoding for any given data structure. That "unique encoding" property is important for cryptographic operations such as hashing and digital signatures, because different encodings of the same abstract data could otherwise produce different hashes and break signature verification. In contrast, PEM is not a binary encoding; it is essentially a Base64-encoded text wrapper around DER data, bounded by header/footer lines (e.g.,
"BEGIN CERTIFICATE"). PKI is an overall framework for certificate issuance, trust, and lifecycle management-not an encoding. RSA is an asymmetric algorithm used for encryption/signing, not a certificate encoding format. Therefore, the binary-based certificate encoding process among the options is DER.
