When setting up a wireless network, an administrator enters a pre-shared key for security. Which of the following is true?

A.

The key entered is a symmetric key used to encrypt the wireless data.

B.

The key entered is a hash that is used to prove the integrity of the wireless data.

Data security is tied into each layer and must be updated for all layers when any upgrade is performed.

D.

Application layers can be written in C, ASP.NET, or Delphi without any performance loss.

For messages sent through an insecure channel, a properly implemented digital signature gives the receiver reason to believe the message was sent by the claimed sender. While using a digital signature, the message digest is encrypted with which key?

A.

Sender's public key

B.

Receiver's private key

C.

Receiver's public key

D.

Which of the following descriptions is true about a static NAT?

A.

A static NAT uses a many-to-many mapping.

B.

A static NAT uses a one-to-many mapping.

C.

A static NAT uses a many-to-one mapping.

D.

A static NAT uses a one-to-one mapping.

Some passwords are stored using specialized encryption algorithms known as hashes. Why is this an appropriate method?

A.

It is impossible to crack hashed user passwords unless the key used to encrypt them is obtained.

B.

If a user forgets the password, it can be easily retrieved using the hash key stored by administrators.

C.

Hashing is faster compared to more traditional encryption algorithms.

D.

Passwords stored using hashes are non-reversible, making finding the password much more difficult.

What is the primary drawback to using advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm with a 256 bit key to share sensitive data?

A.

Due to the key size, the time it will take to encrypt and decrypt the message hinders efficient communication.

B.

To get messaging programs to function with this algorithm requires complex configurations.

C.

It has been proven to be a weak cipher; therefore, should not be trusted to protect sensitive data.

D.

It is a symmetric key algorithm, meaning each recipient must receive the key through a different channel than the message.
