BTA Certified Blockchain Developer - Hyperledger (CBDH) — Questions and Answers

Question 1: What is the MOST effective way to stay current with developments in security & access control for Certified Blockchain Developer Hyperledger?

Following a single expert opinions
Participating in professional development, industry events, and peer collaboration (Correct answer)
Reading only internal communications
Relying on experience gained early in career

Correct answer: Participating in professional development, industry events, and peer collaboration

A multi-faceted approach including formal development, industry events, and peer collaboration provides the broadest perspective on current developments.

Question 2: How is a client's identity accessed within Hyperledger Fabric chaincode?

By calling the orderer's identity verification endpoint
By querying the world state ledger directly for identity records
By reading from the channel MSP configuration stored on the peer
Using the ClientIdentity object from the chaincode shim package (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Using the ClientIdentity object from the chaincode shim package

Chaincode uses the `ClientIdentity` interface from the `github.com/hyperledger/fabric-chaincode-go/pkg/cid` package to access the invoking client's identity, attributes, and certificates.

Question 3: What configuration parameter controls the maximum number of transactions per block in Hyperledger Fabric?

MaxTxPerBlock in ConsensusPolicy
BlockCapacity in ChannelConfig
TransactionLimit in OrdererConfig
MaxMessageCount in BatchSize (Correct answer)

Correct answer: MaxMessageCount in BatchSize

MaxMessageCount is a BatchSize parameter that sets the upper limit on transactions per block, with the orderer cutting a block when this count is reached.

Question 4: What is the significance of the 'BatchTimeout' setting in the Fabric orderer configuration?

TLS certificate expiry grace period
Time before a peer retries a failed endorsement
Maximum wait time before the orderer cuts a block even if BatchSize isn't reached (Correct answer)
Gossip message TTL setting

Correct answer: Maximum wait time before the orderer cuts a block even if BatchSize isn't reached

BatchTimeout sets the maximum time the orderer waits after the first transaction arrives before cutting a block, trading latency for throughput.

Question 5: Which cryptographic algorithm is used by default for key generation in Hyperledger Fabric's BCCSP?

ECDSA with curve P-256 (Correct answer)
Ed25519
DSA-1024
RSA-2048

Correct answer: ECDSA with curve P-256

Hyperledger Fabric uses ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) with the P-256 curve as the default for key generation and transaction signing.

Question 6: What happens to a Hyperledger Fabric identity when its certificate is added to a Certificate Revocation List (CRL)?

The identity is revoked and can no longer participate in any network operations (Correct answer)
The identity can still transact but cannot install or instantiate chaincode
The identity must re-enroll with a different affiliation to regain access
The identity's transactions are queued until the revocation period expires

Correct answer: The identity is revoked and can no longer participate in any network operations

Adding a certificate to the CRL revokes that identity, preventing it from authenticating or participating in any network operations such as sending transactions or queries.

Question 7: In a Raft ordering service, what role does the 'leader' node play?

Validates endorsement signatures
Receives client transactions and replicates them to follower orderers before cutting blocks (Correct answer)
Issues identity certificates to peers
Manages the gossip protocol for peers

Correct answer: Receives client transactions and replicates them to follower orderers before cutting blocks

The Raft leader is the single orderer that receives all transactions, appends them to its log, replicates to followers, and cuts blocks once consensus is reached.

Question 8: What is the PRIMARY objective of compliance & governance in the Certified Blockchain Developer Hyperledger field?

By implementing changes immediately without testing
Through a structured change management process with testing and rollback plans (Correct answer)
Only during business hours for maximum visibility
By upgrading all systems simultaneously without staging

Correct answer: Through a structured change management process with testing and rollback plans

A structured change management process with testing and rollback plans minimizes risk and ensures upgrades do not disrupt operations.

Question 21: Why must an identity be registered before it can be enrolled in Hyperledger Fabric CA?

Registration submits a transaction to the ordering service
Registration initializes the peer node's ledger state
Registration creates a record of the identity in the CA database before credentials can be issued (Correct answer)
Registration installs the required chaincode on the peer

Correct answer: Registration creates a record of the identity in the CA database before credentials can be issued

Registration creates an entry in the CA's database with the identity's attributes and secret, which is required before the identity can enroll to receive its X.509 certificates.
