Q
What is DATA AT REST?
A
- Data stored on a storage device which can include SSD, hard drive, USB drive, or a cloud storage.
2
Q
What is the purpose of an ENCRYPTED FILE SYSTEM?
A
- A security feature of Windows.
- Enables transparent encryption/decryption of files on the system.
- Enabled under the attributes menu.
3
Q
What is the purpose of TRANSPARENT ENCRYPTION?
A
- Used to encrypt database information with a symmetric key.
- Encrypts or decrypts data each time it is pulled from the data base.
4
Q
How does RECORD LEVEL ENCRYPTION encrypt data on the database?
A
- Encrypts individual columns.
- Use separate symmetric keys for each column.
5
Q
What is TRANSPORT ENCRYPTION?
A
- Protecting data transversing the network.
6
Q
How is TRANSPORT ENCRYPTION accomplished?
A
- HTTPS encrypt data being transported through browser applications.
- VPN encrypts all data transmitted over the network.
7
Q
What is the purpose an ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM?
A
- A formula used on both sides to provide the encryption process and a way to decrypt the data on the other side.
- Hidden from end users.
8
Q
Describe the importance of keep the PRIVATE KEY private?
A
- The cryptographic process is a widely known process, however, the only way to gain access to a system using a cryptographic process is by knowing the private key.
9
Q
How does KEY LENGTHS address brute force attacks?
A
- Creating keys that are larger increasing the amount of permutations an attacker must go through.
10
Q
Describe an SYMMETRIC ENCRYPTION
A
- A very common key
- 128 bit or larger
- Will increase as time goes on
11
Q
Describe an ASYMMETRIC ENCRYPTION
A
- Complex calculations of prime numbers
- Larger keys than symmetric encryption
- Common to see key lengths of 3, 072 bits or larger
