Q65. If the round function is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom function, then ___________ rounds is sufficient to make the block cipher a pseudorandom permutation.

 
 
 
 
3
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feistel_cipher
Michael Luby and Charles Rackoff analyzed the Feistel cipher construction, and proved that if the round function is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom function, with Ki used as the seed, then 3 rounds are sufficient to make the block cipher a pseudorandom permutation, while 4 rounds are sufficient to make it a “strong” pseudorandom permutation (which means that it remains pseudorandom even to an adversary who gets oracle access to its inverse permutation). Because of this very important result of Luby and Rackoff, Feistel ciphers are sometimes called Luby-Rackoff block ciphers.

Q66. Created in 1977 by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman at MIT. Most widely used public key cryptography algorithm. Based on relationships with prime numbers. This algorithm is secure because it is difficult to factor a large integer composed of two or more large prime factors.

 
 
 
 
RSA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)
RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is a public-key cryptosystem that is widely used for secure data transmission. It is also one of the oldest. The acronym RSA comes from the surnames of Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, who publicly described the algorithm in 1977. An equivalent system was developed secretly, in 1973 at GCHQ (the British signals intelligence agency), by the English mathematician Clifford Cocks. That system was declassified in 1997.
Incorrect answers:
Diffie-Helmann – The first publicly described asymmetric algorithm. A cryptographic protocol that allows two parties to establish a shared key over an insecure channel. Often used to allow parties to exchange a symmetric key through some unsecure medium, such as the Internet. It was developed by Whitfield Diffie and Martin Helmann in 1976.
DES – The Data Encryption Standard is a symmetric-key algorithm for the encryption of digital data. Although its short key length of 56 bits makes it too insecure for applications, it has been highly influential in the advancement of cryptography.
Developed in the early 1970s at IBM and based on an earlier design by Horst Feistel, the algorithm was submitted to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) following the agency’s invitation to propose a candidate for the protection of sensitive, unclassified electronic government data. In 1976, after consultation with the National Security Agency (NSA), the NBS selected a slightly modified version (strengthened against differential cryptanalysis, but weakened against brute-force attacks), which was published as an official Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for the United States in 1977.
PKI – A public key infrastructure is a set of roles, policies, hardware, software and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store and revoke digital certificates and manage public-key encryption. The purpose of a PKI is to facilitate the secure electronic transfer of information for a range of network activities such as e-commerce, internet banking and confidential email. It is required for activities where simple passwords are an inadequate authentication method and more rigorous proof is required to confirm the identity of the parties involved in the communication and to validate the information being transferred.

Q67. 3DES can best be classified as which one of the following?

 
 
 
 
Symmetric algorithm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_DES
Triple DES (3DES or TDES), officially the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA or Triple DEA), is a symmetric-key block cipher, which applies the DES cipher algorithm three times to each data block. The Data Encryption Standard’s (DES) 56-bit key is no longer considered adequate in the face of modern cryptanalytic techniques and supercomputing power. However, an adapted version of DES, Triple DES (3DES), uses the same algorithm to produce a more secure encryption.

Q68. John works as a cryptography consultant. He finds that people often misunderstand the reality of breaking a cipher. What is the definition of breaking a cipher?

 
 
 
 
Finding any method that is more efficient than brute force.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis
Bruce Schneier notes that even computationally impractical attacks can be considered breaks: “Breaking a cipher simply means finding a weakness in the cipher that can be exploited with a complexity less than brute force. Never mind that brute-force might require 2^128 encryptions; an attack requiring 2^110 encryptions would be considered a break…simply put, a break can just be a certificational weakness: evidence that the cipher does not perform as advertised.”

Q69. Which of the following asymmetric algorithms is described by U.S. Patent 5,231,668 and FIPS 186

 
 
 
 
DSA
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSA
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposed DSA for use in their Digital Signature Standard (DSS) in 1991, and adopted it as FIPS 186 in 1994.
DSA is covered by U.S. Patent 5,231,668 , filed July 26, 1991 and now expired, and attributed to David W. Kravitz, a former NSA employee.

Q70. What size block does Skipjack use?

 
 
 
 
64
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skipjack_(cipher)
Skipjack uses an 80-bit key to encrypt or decrypt 64-bit data blocks. It is an unbalanced Feistel network with 32 rounds.

Q71. What is an IV?

 
 
 
 
A fixed size random stream that is added to a block cipher to increase randomeness
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation#Initialization_vector_(IV) An initialization vector (IV) or starting variable (SV) is a block of bits that is used by several modes to randomize the encryption and hence to produce distinct ciphertexts even if the same plaintext is encrypted multiple times, without the need for a slower re-keying process.

Q72. A digital document that contains a public key and some information to allow your system to verify where that key came from. Used for web servers, Cisco Secure phones, E-Commerce.

 
 
 
 
Digital Certificate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_certificate
A public key certificate, also known as a digital certificate or identity certificate, is an electronic document used to prove the ownership of a public key. The certificate includes information about the key, information about the identity of its owner (called the subject), and the digital signature of an entity that has verified the certificate’s contents (called the issuer).
Incorrect answers:
OCSP – Provides certificate validation in real time and will let you know if it is valid or has been revoked.
Registration Authority (RA) – component of PKI that validates the identity of an entity requesting a digital certificate.
Payload – In computing and telecommunications, the payload is the part of transmitted data that is the actual intended message. Headers and metadata are sent only to enable payload delivery. In the steganography – information to be concealed and sent secretly, or the data covertly communicated;

Q73. What is a “Collision attack” in cryptography?

 
 
 
 
Collision attacks try to find two inputs producing the same
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_attack
A collision attack on a cryptographic hash tries to find two inputs producing the same hash value, i.e. a hash collision. This is in contrast to a preimage attack where a specific target hash value is specified.

Q74. Which of the following algorithms uses three different keys to encrypt the plain text?

 
 
 
 
3DES
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_DES
Triple DES (3DES) has a three different keys with same size (56-bit).
Incorrect answers:
AES. For AES, NIST selected three members of the Rijndael family, each with a block size of 128 bits, but three different key lengths: 128, 192 and 256 bits.
Blowfish. Blowfish has a 64-bit block size and a variable key length from 32 bits up to 448 bits.
Skipjack. Skipjack uses an 80-bit key to encrypt or decrypt 64-bit data blocks.

Q75. A disk you rotated to encrypt/decrypt. Created by Leon Alberti. Similar technologies were used in the Enigma machine. Considered the forefather of modern encryption.

 
 
 
 
Cipher disks
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipher_disk
A cipher disk is an enciphering and deciphering tool developed in 1470 by the Italian architect and author Leon Battista Alberti. He constructed a device, (eponymously called the Alberti cipher disk) consisting of two concentric circular plates mounted one on top of the other. The larger plate is called the “stationary” and the smaller one the “moveable” since the smaller one could move on top of the “stationary”.

Q76. Which method of password cracking takes the most time and effort?

 
 
 
 
Brute force
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_attack
A brute-force attack consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of eventually guessing correctly. The attacker systematically checks all possible passwords and passphrases until the correct one is found. Alternatively, the attacker can attempt to guess the key which is typically created from the password using a key derivation function. This is known as an exhaustive key search.
A brute-force attack is a cryptanalytic attack that can, in theory, be used to attempt to decrypt any encrypted data (except for data encrypted in an information-theoretically secure manner). Such an attack might be used when it is not possible to take advantage of other weaknesses in an encryption system (if any exist) that would make the task easier.
Incorrect answers:
Rainbow tables – is a precomputed table for caching the output of cryptographic hash functions, usually for cracking password hashes. Tables are usually used in recovering a key derivation function (or credit card numbers, etc.) up to a certain length consisting of a limited set of characters.
Dictionary attack – is a form of brute force attack technique for defeating a cipher or authentication mechanism by trying to determine its decryption key or passphrase by trying thousands or millions of likely possibilities, such as words in a dictionary or previously used passwords, often from lists obtained from past security breaches.
Shoulder surfing – is a type of social engineering technique used to obtain information such as personal identification numbers (PINs), passwords and other confidential data by looking over the victim’s shoulder, either from keystrokes on a device or sensitive information being spoken and heard, also known as eavesdropping.

Q77. Manipulating individuals so that they will divulge confidential information, rather than by breaking in or using technical cracking techniques.

 
 
 
 
Social engineering attack
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(security)
Social engineering is the psychological manipulation of people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. This differs from social engineering within the social sciences, which does not concern the divulging of confidential information. A type of confidence trick for the purpose of information gathering, fraud, or system access, it differs from a traditional “con” in that it is often one of many steps in a more complex fraud scheme.
Incorrect answers:
Replay attack – (also known as playback attack) is a form of network attack in which a valid data transmission is maliciously or fraudulently repeated or delayed. This is carried out either by the originator or by an adversary who intercepts the data and re-transmits it, possibly as part of a masquerade attack by IP packet substitution. This is one of the lower tier versions of a “Man-in-the-middle attack.” Side-channel attack – is any attack based on information gained from the implementation of a computer system, rather than weaknesses in the implemented algorithm itself (e.g. cryptanalysis and software bugs). Timing information, power consumption, electromagnetic leaks or even sound can provide an extra source of information, which can be exploited.
Linear cryptanalysis – is a general form of cryptanalysis based on finding affine approximations to the action of a cipher. Attacks have been developed for block ciphers and stream ciphers. Linear cryptanalysis is one of the two most widely used attacks on block ciphers; the other being differential cryptanalysis.

Q78. Basic information theory is the basis for modern symmetric ciphers. Understanding the terminology of information theory is, therefore, important. If a single change of a single bit in the plaintext causes changes in all the bits of the resulting ciphertext, what is this called?

 
 
 
 

Q79. Which of the following is used to encrypt email and create digital signatures?

 
 
 
 
RSA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)
RSA use for encryption email and create digital signatures

Q80. Which one of the following is an example of a symmetric key algorithm?

 
 
 
 
Rijndael
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known by its original name Rijndael. The algorithm described by AES is a symmetric-key algorithm, meaning the same key is used for both encrypting and decrypting the data.
Incorrect answers:
ECC – Elliptic-curve cryptography is an approach to public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. ECC allows smaller keys compared to non-EC cryptography (based on plain Galois fields) to provide equivalent security.
Diffie-Hellman – key exchange is a method of securely exchanging cryptographic keys over a public channel and was one of the first public-key protocols as conceived by Ralph Merkle and named after Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman.
RSA – Rivest-Shamir-Adleman is a public-key cryptosystem that is widely used for secure data transmission. It is also one of the oldest. The acronym RSA comes from the surnames of Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman, who publicly described the algorithm in 1977.

Q81. The time and effort required to break a security measure.

 
 
 
 
Work factor
Work factor – the time and effort required to break a security measure.
Incorrect answers:
Non-repudiation – involves associating actions or changes with a unique individual.
Session Key – is a single-use symmetric key used for encrypting all messages in one communication session. A closely related term is content encryption key (CEK), traffic encryption key (TEK), or multicast key which refers to any key used for encrypting messages, contrary to other uses like encrypting other keys (key encryption key (KEK) or key wrapping key).
Payload – is the part of transmitted data that is the actual intended message. Headers and metadata are sent only to enable payload delivery.

Q82. Which analysis type is based on the statistics of the numbers of unique colors and close-color pairs in a 24-bit image, a method that analyzes the pairs of colors created by LSB embedding?

 
 
 
 
Raw Quick Pair
https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/courses/compsci725s2c/archive/termpapers/yy.pdf Du and Long2 (2000) introduced Raw Quick Pairs detecting method of Stego-images (the images that contain the steganographic message). The underlying principle of the method is that the number of close color pairs of Stego-images will be larger compare with the number of close color pairs of normal images. In contrast, Fridrich and Goljan (2001) pointed out that RQP method only works if the number of unique colors is relatively low; and the method can not be applied to grayscale images. However, this paper will outline the core principle of RQP method; and evaluate such critical comments in details. In addition, this paper suggests potential improvement of RQP method and provides one possible alternative.
Incorrect answers:
Chi squared analysis – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi-squared_test
Differential Analysis – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_cryptanalysis Discrete Cosine Transform – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_cosine_transform

Q83. Which of the following is assured by the use of a hash?

 
 
 
 
Integrity
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function#Verifying_the_integrity_of_messages_and_files An important application of secure hashes is verification of message integrity. Comparing message digests (hash digests over the message) calculated before, and after, transmission can determine whether any changes have been made to the message or file.

Q84. Which of the following Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA) produces a 160-bit digest from a message with a maximum length of (264-1) bits and resembles the MD5 algorithm?

 
 
 
 
SHA-1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1
SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) is a cryptographic hash function which takes an input and produces a 160-bit (20-byte) hash value known as a message digest – typically rendered as a hexadecimal number, 40 digits long. It was designed by the United States National Security Agency, and is a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard.
SHA-1 produces a message digest based on principles similar to those used by Ronald
L. Rivest of MIT in the design of the MD2, MD4 and MD5 message digest algorithms, but generates a larger hash value (160 bits vs. 128 bits).

Q85. Which of the following is the successor of SSL?

 
 
 
 
TLS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#History_and_development TLS 1.0 was first defined in RFC 2246 in January 1999 as an upgrade of SSL Version 3.0, and written by Christopher Allen and Tim Dierks of Consensus Development. As stated in the RFC, “the differences between this protocol and SSL 3.0 are not dramatic, but they are significant enough to preclude interoperability between TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0”. Tim Dierks later wrote that these changes, and the renaming from “SSL” to “TLS”, were a face-saving gesture to Microsoft, “so it wouldn’t look [like] the IETF was just rubberstamping Netscape’s protocol”.
