Read the first 6 CASE Cryptography & Data Protection flashcards as text

  1. Which password hashing function is recommended for secure storage due to its adaptive work factor?

    Answer: bcrypt

    bcrypt is a password hashing function with a configurable work factor that makes brute-force attacks computationally expensive.

  2. What is the primary purpose of a digital certificate?

    Answer: Binding a public key to a verified entity identity

    A digital certificate binds a public key to the identity of an entity, verified and signed by a trusted Certificate Authority.

  3. What role does a Certificate Authority (CA) play in PKI?

    Answer: Issues, signs, and manages digital certificates

    A Certificate Authority issues and digitally signs certificates, establishing a chain of trust for public key validation.

  4. What does cryptographic key management encompass?

    Answer: Administering keys through their full lifecycle including generation, storage, rotation, and destruction

    Key management covers the entire cryptographic key lifecycle: generation, distribution, storage, rotation, and secure destruction.

  5. Which cryptographic property ensures a sender cannot deny having transmitted a message?

    Answer: Non-repudiation

    Non-repudiation prevents an originator from denying having sent a message, typically enforced through digital signatures.

  6. What is the purpose of a cryptographic salt?

    Answer: A random value added before hashing to defeat precomputed rainbow table attacks

    A salt is a unique random value appended to each password before hashing, ensuring identical passwords produce distinct hash outputs.
