Encryption & Cryptography
This encryption standard uses a 256-bit key for enhanced security
What is AES-256?
This protocol is used for secure email communication, specifically in encrypting and signing emails.
What is S/MIME?
A persistent attack method in which hackers maintain a long-term presence inside a network to steal data or damage the system.
What is APT (Advanced Persistent Threat)?
This protocol is used to assign dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network.
What is DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)?
This is an important component in data security that prevents unauthorized access to a system or network.
What is ACL (Access Control List)?
This algorithm is widely used for symmetric key encryption
What is AES?
A widely used method for protecting the confidentiality of internet traffic by using SSL/TLS.
What is HTTPS?
This is the term for the action of a system or software being attacked by malicious code that tries to stop services.
What is DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service)?
This network topology allows a limited number of devices to connect over short distances wirelessly.
What is WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)?
This software system scans and removes viruses or malware from computers.
What is Antivirus (AV)?
This method uses a specific key exchange to secure communication channels in an ephemeral manner
What is ECDHE?
This protocol is responsible for creating and distributing certificates to authenticate websites and users.
What is PKI (Public Key Infrastructure)?
This attack involves intercepting or modifying communication between two parties without either knowing.
What is Man-in-the-Middle (MitM)?
This is the process of resolving a device's IP address to its MAC address on a network.
What is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)?
This is a device that detects and protects a network from unauthorized access or attacks.
What is a Firewall?
This method of encryption involves applying a padding scheme to block cipher text.
What is CBC (Cipher Block Chaining)?
This authentication protocol helps secure communications over untrusted networks.
What is IPSec?
A method of data destruction where an attacker denies or damages data systems or services.
What is DoS (Denial of Service)?
A set of network management protocols used to monitor and configure devices on a network.
What is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)?
A device designed to secure personal data by encrypting all of its contents to prevent unauthorized access.
What is FDE (Full Disk Encryption)?
This is the hashing algorithm used in many SSL/TLS protocols to verify the integrity of data.
What is SHA?
This is a protocol used to verify the identity of users connecting to networks via a password and challenge response method.
What is CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol)?
A security measure aimed at detecting unusual behavior that could indicate a potential breach in the system.
What is IDS (Intrusion Detection System)?
This communication protocol is used to connect devices on a local area network using high-speed data transmission.
What is Ethernet?
This is a security mechanism used to manage and control access to resources for various users on a network.
What is IAM (Identity and Access Management)?
