Q

what is access control list (ACL)?

432

A

An access control list (ACL) is a table that tells a computer, routers and more operating system which access rights each user has to a particular system object, such as a file directory or individual file. Each object has a security attribute that identifies its access control list.

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP):

437

A

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a tunneling protocol used to support virtual private networks (VPNs) or as part of the delivery of services by ISPs. It does not provide any encryption or confidentiality by itself.

Q

The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

437

A

The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a method for implementing virtual private networks. PPTP uses a control channel over TCP and a GRE tunnel operating to encapsulate PPP packets.

Q

What is Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)?

438

A

Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol network.

Q

their are 2 protocol working in IPSec, what are they/

439

A

The authentication header ( AH )

encapsulation security payload ( ESP)

17
Q

AH protocol within IPSec is compatible with network running NAT ( network address Translation). T/F
439

A

False

18
Q

AH provides Authentication services only. T/F

439

A

true

19
Q

ESP provides authentication and encryption abilities. T/F

439

A

true

20
Q

IPSec works in 2 mode what are they?

439

A

transport mode

tunneling mode

21
Q

transport mode

A

it create secure tunnel between 2 devices end to end.

, that mean the packet is protected.

22
Q

tunneling mode

A

it is created between 2 endpoints like; 2 routers or 2 gateway servers, all the traffic going through the tunnel is protected.

23
Q

what is encryption?

440

A

The process of making data unreadable by other humans or computers for the purpose of preventing others from gaining access to its contents. Encrypted data is generated using an encryption program such as PGP, encryption machine, or a simple encryption key and appears as garbage until it is decrypted. To read or use the data, it must be decrypted, and only those who have the correct password or decryption key can make the data readable again.

24
Q

what is an Encryption Key?

441

A

An Encryption Key is a random string of characters that is used with the encrypted algorithm to encrypt or decrypt data.

25
Q

the encryption Key is unique to each transaction. T/F

441

A

True

26
Q

Encryption Key come in 2 flavors what bare they?

441

A

public and private.

27
Q

3 encryption standard, what are they?

442

A

DES
3DES
AES

28
Q

Symmetric encryption key is ____

442

A
  • Symmetric encryption is the oldest and best-known technique. A secret key, which can be a number, a word, or just a string of random letters, is applied to the text of a message to change the content in a particular way.
  • both the sender and the receiver have the same key and use it to encrypt and decrypt all messages.
29
Q

what can we say about DES, data encryption standard?

442

A
  • uses lookup and functions
  • uses 56 bit key
  • works much faster then other complex systems.
  • it is not exactly secure.
30
Q

what is Triple DES?

442

A

Triple DES (3DES) is the common name for the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA or Triple DEA) symmetric-key block cipher, which applies the Data Encryption Standard (DES) cipher algorithm three times to each data block.

31
Q

how many bits are in the 3DES?

442

A

56x3 = 168

32
Q

of the 168 bit key of the 3DES how many are effective?

442

A

80 bits.

33
Q

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES):

442

A

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known as Rijndael (its original name), is a specification for the encryption of electronic data.
AES key lengths is 128,192 or 256 bits.
