QUESTION: 17

A ______________is a digital representation of information that identifies you as a relevant entity by a trusted third party.

Digital Signature
Hash
Ownership stamp
Digest

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Digital Signature
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature
A digital signature is a mathematical scheme for verifying the authenticity of digital messages or documents. A valid digital signature, where the prerequisites are satisfied, gives a recipient very strong reason to believe that the message was created by a known sender (authentication), and that the message was not altered in transit (integrity).

QUESTION: 18

Modern symmetric ciphers all make use of one or more s-boxes. Both Feistel and non-Feistel ciphers use these s-boxes. What is an s-box?

A substitution box where input bits are replaced
A black box for the algorithm implementation
A shifting box where input bits are shifted
Another name for the round function

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Substitution box where input bits are replaced https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-box
In cryptography, an S-box (substitution-box) is a basic component of symmetric key algorithms which performs substitution. In block ciphers, they are typically used to obscure the relationship between the key and the ciphertext — Shannon's property of confusion.

A cryptographic hash function which uses a Merkle tree-like structure to allow for immense parallel computation of hashes for very long inputs. Authors claim a performance of 28 cycles per byte for MD6-256 on an Intel Core 2 Duo and provable resistance against differential cryptanalysis.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

MD6
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD6
The MD6 Message-Digest Algorithm is a cryptographic hash function. It uses a Merkle tree-like structure to allow for immense parallel computation of hashes for very long inputs. Authors claim a performance of 28 cycles per byte for MD6-256 on an Intel Core 2 Duo and provable resistance against differential cryptanalysis.[2] The source code of the reference implementation was released under MIT license.
Speeds in excess of 1 GB/s have been reported to be possible for long messages on 16-core CPU architecture.
In December 2008, Douglas Held of Fortify Software discovered a buffer overflow in the original MD6 hash algorithm's reference implementation. This error was later made public by Ron Rivest on 19 February 2009, with a release of a corrected reference implementation in advance of the Fortify Report.

QUESTION: 20

What size block does FORK256 use?

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

512 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FORK-256
FORK-256 was introduced at the 2005 NIST Hash workshop and published the following year.[6] FORK-256 uses 512-bit blocks and implements preset constants that change after each repetition. Each block is hashed into a 256-bit block through four branches that divides each 512 block into sixteen 32-bit words that are further encrypted and rearranged
