Encryption 1
In order for an encryption process to work between two parties, the two parties need a key to encrypt and/or decrypt and this.
What is an algorithm?
Addressing the challenge of secure key exchange, this type of encryption utilizes a pair of keys for encryption and decryption.
What is asymmetric encryption?
When accessing a website that uses encryption, this symbol will be displayed in the address bar of most browsers, indicating a secure connection.
What is a lock?
This is a term for malicious software designed to harm or exploit computers or networks.
What is malware?
This type of malware monitors and records all user input from peripheral devices and sends the information back to a host computer.
What is a keylogger?
Synonymous with secret-key encryption, this term refers to algorithms utilizing a single key for both encryption and decryption.
What is symmetric key encryption?
A Caesar cipher is this type of encryption because the process to encrypt data is the same process to decrypt data.
What is symmetric key encryption?
When verifying a certificate, a browser will look for the encryption algorithm, the site's public key, the date the certificate was issued, the certificate issuer, and this.
What is the expiration date?
This type of malware is similar to ransomware, but specifically focuses on cryptocurrency-related activities.
What is crypto-malware?
WannaCry, Ryuk, and Locker, are all examples of this type of malware.
What is ransomware?
This is a synonym for asymmetric key encryption.
What is public key encryption?
Renowned for its strength and suitability for securing sensitive information, the AES-256 is what type of encryption.
What is symmetric (private) key encryption?
This is an organization that issues certificates to websites.
What is a Certificate Authority?
The main difference between these two types of malware is their method of reproduction, where one requires interaction and the other does not.
What are viruses and worms?
These provide unauthorized access to a system, allowing attackers to control it remotely.
What are backdoors?
By encrypting the entire storage device, this method prevents unauthorized access to data.
What is Full Disk Encryption (FDE)?
In the Bob and Alice scenario, if Bob wants to generate a message using asymmetric encryption, he would generate two keys, giving this one to Alice and keeping the other for himself.
What is the public key?
This protocol was the first widely adopted to establish a secure connection between a website and a browser using a handshake system, although an upgraded version has been released that addresses its early vulnerabilities.
What is Secure Socket Layer (SSL)?
These are used by both white hat hackers and malicious actors to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems by consolidating various tools and exploits into one resource.
What is an exploitation framework?
This malware misleads users of its true intent by disguising itself as a standard program.
What is a Trojan?
This hardware component securely stores encryption keys and performs cryptographic operations.
What is (Trusted Platform Module) TPM chip?
This term involved in encryption means something can be proven to be true to some specific level of certainty.
What is assurance?
This is the exploitation of insecure HTTP connections to downgrade secure HTTPS connections, exposing sensitive data to interception
What is SSL Stripping?
This malware is designed to allow an attacker to remotely control an infected computer.
What is a Remote Access Trojan (RAT)?
After being infected my malware that communicates back to a host computer, such as a keylogger or bot, aside from removing the malware, this is one way to ensure confidentiality of information.
What is analyzing outgoing traffic or firewall configurations?
