A) The prehash code is derived mathematically from the message being sent.
B) The prehash code is encrypted using the sender's private key.
C) The prehash code and the message are encrypted using the secret key.

2. Which of the following internet security threats could compromise integrity?
A) Theft of data from the client
B) Exposure of network configuration information
C) A Trojan horse browser
D) Eavesdropping on the net

A) The organization does not have control over encryption.
B) Messages are subjected to wiretapping.
C) Data might not reach the intended recipient.
D) The communication may not be secure.
4. If inadequate, which of the following would be the MOST likely contributor to a denial-of- service attack?
A) Router configuration and rules
B) Design of the internal network
C) Updates to the router system software
D) Audit testing and review techniques

A) symmetric encryption.
B) message authentication code.
C) hash function.
D) digital signature certificates.
A) The prehash code is derived mathematically from the message being sent.

1. Right Answer: B
Explanation: Encrypting the prehash code using the sender's private key provides assurance of the authenticity of the message. Mathematically deriving the prehash code provides integrity to the message. Encrypting the prehash code and the message using the secretkey provides confidentiality.
2. Right Answer: C
Explanation: Internet security threats/vulnerabilities to integrity include a Trojan horse, which could modify user data, memory and messages found in client-browser software.The other options compromise confidentiality.
3. Right Answer: A
Explanation: The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity and optional client authentication. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and web servers, simply installing a digital certificate turns on the SSL capabilities. SSL encrypts the datum while it is being transmitted over the internet.The encryption is done in the background, without any interaction from the user; consequently, there is no password to remember. The other choices are incorrect.Since the communication between client and server is encrypted, the confidentiality of information is not affected by wiretapping. Since SSL does the client authentication, only the intended recipient will receive the decrypted data. All data sent over an encrypted SSL connection are protected with a mechanism to detect tampering, i.e., automatically determining whether data has been altered in transit.
4. Right Answer: A
Explanation: Inadequate router configuration and rules would lead to an exposure to denial-of-service attacks. Choices B and C would be lesser contributors. Choice D is incorrect because audit testing and review techniques are applied after the fact.
5. Right Answer: A
Explanation: SSL uses a symmetric key for message encryption. A message authentication code is used for ensuring data integrity. Hash function is used for generating a message digest; it does not use public key encryption for message encryption. Digital signature certificates are used by SSL for server authentication.
