12
What's a defining feature of symmetric encryption?
پاسخ دهید(C)
It employs a single key for both encryption and decryption.
13
In an echo check, what is sent back to the sender?
14
Which of the following is the biggest disadvantage of using asymmetric encryption?
پاسخ دهید(A)
It is very complex and time consuming
15
In data transmission, which of these ensures that the correct data is received?

17
In symmetric encryption, what is used for both encryption and decryption?
پاسخ دهید(C)
A single, shared secret key
18
What are the main components of a packet?

Header, payload, and trailer
19
Which of the following techniques is used for error detection?
20

21
Which of the following best describes what 'plaintext' means in data security?
22
What is the main goal of encryption?
پاسخ دهید(C)
To make data unreadable to unauthorized users.
23
What is the term used for the encrypted data?
24
What do you call the original format of a message before it is processed through an encryption algorithm?
25
What is the main function of encryption?
پاسخ دهید(B)
To prevent unauthorized access to data.
26
When does data corruption most likely occur?
پاسخ دهید(A)
When the connection is poor
27
In the context of data packets, what does 'payload' mean?
پاسخ دهید(B)
The data itself that is being transmitted.
28
In packet switching, what information does the 'hop number' represent?
پاسخ دهید(B)
The number of routers the packet has traversed.
29
What does the sender typically do with the public key in an asymmetric system?
30
Which of the following can lead to data corruption during transmission?
31
What is the main goal of using a digital signature?
پاسخ دهید(B)
To provide message authenticity and non-repudiation.
32
What type of error can block parity detect?
پاسخ دهید(C)
Errors where a single bit is changed in any byte.
33
What is a potential vulnerability when using symmetric encryption?
پاسخ دهید(A)
The key exchange process.
34
What is the core purpose of encryption?
پاسخ دهید(B)
To make data unreadable to unauthorized parties.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of serial data transmission?
پاسخ دهید(A)
Slower transmission rates over longer distances.
36
What is the main purpose of check digits in data entry?
پاسخ دهید(B)
To detect typing or scanning errors.
37
Which method is used to reverse the encryption process?
38
Which method of transmission sends data one bit at a time?
39
What type of error can parity checks detect?
40
In a walkie-talkie, what type of data transmission is employed?
41
What is a checksum used for?
42
What is the purpose of a checksum?
پاسخ دهید(B)
To ensure data integrity during transmission.
43
If even parity is used, and the data being sent is 1101010, what should the parity bit be set to?
44
What does the section on check digits mention they are used for?
پاسخ دهید(C)
To detect errors from typing or scanning.
45
In the context of data security, what does 'non-repudiation' mean?
پاسخ دهید(C)
The sender cannot deny having sent a message.
46
If an error is detected during data transmission using ARQ, what happens next?
پاسخ دهید(C)
The data is retransmitted.
47
Which type of encryption uses a single secret key for both encryption and decryption?
48
What key must be kept secret in symmetric encryption?
49
What key is used to encrypt data in asymmetric encryption?
50
