asymmetric key cryptography

Cryptography accomplishes four security goals nonrepudiation integrity authentication and

confidentiality

Cryptography accomplishes four security goals

confidentiality, integrity, authentication and nonrepudiation

Security audits help ensure that your rules and what are up to date documented and subject to change control procedures

configurations

What allows the computer to get its configuration information from the network instead of the network administrator providing the configuration information to the computer it provides a computer with an IP address subnet mask and other essential communication information simplifying the network administrators job

dynamic host configuration protocol

An auditing firewall is the standard by which a system is compared to determine whether it is securely configured

false

Another name for a border firewall is a DMZ firewall

false

IP addresses are eight byte addresses that uniquely identify every device on the network

false

One of the OSI Reference Model layers the transport layer creates maintains and disconnects communications that take place between processes over the network

false

The term router describes a network device that connects network segments,echoing all received traffic to all other ports

false

A stateful inspection firewall compares received traffic with a set of rules that define which traffic it will permit to pass through the firewall

false that is packet filtering

Chosen ciphertext attacks have particular uses in attacking encrypted email

falss

What term is used to describe a method of IP address assignment that uses an alternate, public IP address to hide a system's real IP address?

network address translation

A firewall that examines each packet it receives and compares the packet to a list of rules configured by the network administrator is the definition of

packet filtering firewall

It's essential to match your organizations required what with its security structure

Decryption is the act of unscrambling ciphertext into plaintext

true

Digital signatures require asymmetric key cryptography

true

Encrypted information is ciphertext

true

In a symmetric key system where everyone shares the same secret compromising one copy of the key compromises all copies
