NEW QUESTION # 87
(Which mechanism implemented in WPA-Enterprise guards against bit-flipping exploits?)
Answer: B
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 # 88
(Which operation can be performed on a certificate during the "Issued" stage?)
Answer: C
Explanation:
The "Issued" stage in a certificate lifecycle indicates that the certificate has been generated and signed by the issuing CA and is now valid for use (subject to validity dates, policy constraints, and revocation status). At this point, the operational focus shifts from creating the certificate to making it available to the subject and relying parties. "Distribution" is the lifecycle activity most directly associated with an issued certificate: installing it on servers or endpoints, provisioning it into keystores, publishing it to directories if required, and ensuring the chain (intermediates) is accessible for validation. By contrast,
"Creation" is earlier in the process (key generation, CSR creation, identity validation, issuance
/signing). "Key recovery" and "key archiving" relate to private key management and escrow policies (often for encryption keys, not signing keys), and are governed by organizational policy and key management systems rather than the certificate's issued state itself. A certificate can be distributed after issuance regardless of whether any key escrow features exist. Therefore, the operation that fits the certificate's "Issued" stage best is distribution of the issued credential for operational use.
NEW QUESTION # 89
(Which wireless security standard uses an authentication server with 802.1X and EAP?)
Answer: C
Explanation:
802.1X is a port-based network access control framework that enables centralized authentication using an authentication server (commonly RADIUS). EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) runs within
802.1X to support many credential types (password-based methods like PEAP, certificate-based methods like EAP-TLS, and others). WPA-Enterprise is the wireless security mode that explicitly uses
802.1X + EAP with an authentication server to perform per-user/per-device authentication and to derive dynamic session keys. By contrast, WPA-PSK uses a pre-shared key without an external authentication server; all users share the same PSK, which is weaker for enterprise identity management. WEP is an older mechanism using static keys and does not provide modern 802.1X/EAP enterprise authentication in the WPA-Enterprise sense. TKIP is an encryption/integrity protocol used under WPA, not the full authentication "standard" involving an authentication server. Therefore, the correct choice is WPA-Enterprise.
NEW QUESTION # 90
(What is the length of the Initialization Vector (IV) in WEP?)
Answer: A
Explanation:
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) uses the RC4 stream cipher and combines a per-packet Initialization Vector (IV) with a shared secret key to form the RC4 seed for that packet's keystream. The IV in WEP is 24 bits long and is transmitted in the clear as part of the 802.11 frame so the receiver can reconstruct the same per-packet RC4 key stream. The short IV space (2²# possible values) is a major design weakness: on a busy network, IVs repeat frequently, causing keystream reuse. Because RC4 is a stream cipher, keystream reuse enables attackers to derive relationships between plaintexts and recover keys with statistical attacks (notably the Fluhrer, Mantin, and Shamir (FMS) family of attacks and related improvements). WEP also uses a CRC-32 integrity check (ICV) that is not cryptographically strong and is vulnerable to modification attacks. The 24-bit IV length is therefore a key reason WEP is considered insecure and has been replaced by WPA/WPA2 mechanisms that use stronger key mixing, larger nonces/IVs, and robust integrity protection.
NEW QUESTION # 91
(What makes the RC4 cipher unique compared to RC5 and RC6?)
Answer: A
Explanation:
RC4 is unique among the RC family listed because it is a stream cipher. It generates a pseudorandom keystream and encrypts data by XORing that keystream with plaintext bytes (and decryption is the same XOR operation). This differs from RC5 and RC6, which are block ciphers: they encrypt fixed-size blocks of data through multiple rounds of operations (such as modular addition, XOR, and rotations) using a secret key. The stream-cipher design means RC4 historically fit protocols where data arrives continuously (e.g., early wireless and web encryption) and where simple, fast software implementation was desired. However, stream ciphers demand careful handling of nonces/IVs to avoid keystream reuse; reuse can catastrophically leak plaintext relationships. RC4 also has well-documented statistical biases in its keystream, leading to practical attacks in protocols like WEP and later concerns in TLS, which is why RC4 has been deprecated in modern security standards. Still, from a classification standpoint, "stream" is the distinguishing characteristic versus RC5/RC6 being block ciphers.
