A mathematical ____________________ is a secret mechanism that enables you to easily accomplish the reverse function in a one-way function.

__________ is the amount of effort (usually in hours) required to perform cryptanalysis to decode an encrypted message when the key or algorithm (or both) are unknown.

The S-HTTP security solution provides six services: authentication by digital signatures, message encryption, compression, e-mail compatibility, segmentation, and key management.

UltraViolet wireless (UVW) is a de facto industry standard for short-range wireless communications between devices. _________________________

Popular cryptosystems use a hybrid combination of symmetric and asymmetric algorithms.

As DES became known as being too weak for highly classified communications, Double DES was created to provide a level of security far beyond that of DES. _________________________

__________ is a protocol that can be used to secure communications across any IP-based network such as LANs, WANs, and the Internet.

Secure Electronic Transactions was developed by MasterCard and Visa in 1997 to protect against electronic payment fraud.

Asymmetric encryption systems use a single key to both encrypt and decrypt a message.

Describe digital certificates.

To perform the Caesar cipher encryption operation, the pad values are added to numeric values that represent the plaintext that needs to be encrypted.

Hashing functions require the use of keys.

Hash algorithms are public functions that create a message digest by converting variable-length messages into a single fixed-length value. _________________________

In IPSec ____________________ mode, only the IP data is encrypted, not the IP headers.

_________ is a hybrid cryptosystem that combines some of the best available cryptographic algorithms and has become the open-source de facto standard for encryption and authentication of e-mail and file storage applications.

Usually, as the length of a cryptovariable increases, the number of random guesses that have to be made in order to break the code is reduced.

The most common hybrid system is based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, which is a method for exchanging private keys using public-key encryption.

__________ is the entire range of values that can possibly be used to construct an individual key.
