Question 12

In ____,both computers verify the credentials of the other.

Accepted Answer

Mutual authentication refers to the process where both parties involved in a communication verify each other's identity and exchange authentication credentials to prove their legitimacy. It is a crucial aspect of secure communication between two entities, and it helps to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. Mutual authorization refers to the process where both parties grant each other permission to access specific resources or perform particular actions. However, mutual authorization is not the same as mutual authentication. Therefore, option C is the best choice for this question.

Question 19

In ____ ,a hacker forges name server records to falsify his host's identity.

Accepted Answer

DNS spoofing is the act of changing the IP address of a domain name in the DNS server. This is done by a hacker to make it appear that their website is affiliated with a trusted source, such as a bank or social media site, in order to gain personal information from unsuspecting users. IP spoofing is the practice of altering the source address of a network packet to appear as though it originated from a different device. ID spoofing is the act of impersonating someone else's identity, while DHCP spoofing involves a hacker providing false IP addresses to clients in order to redirect their traffic. None of these options accurately describe the scenario described in the question.

Question 20

____ protocols are the rules that computers follow to accomplish authentication.

Accepted Answer

Authentication protocols are specifically designed to implement the process of verifying the identity of a user or system. This ensures that access is granted only to authorized individuals and reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access or security breaches. Access protocols are related to permissions and determining what resources a user is authorized to use. Availability protocols are focused on ensuring systems and resources are available when needed. Authority protocols deal with proper delegation of power and decision-making capabilities.
