Note: This quiz covers sections 38.5.1 - 38.6.5.

1 .       A point of sale transaction occurs when customers present credit cards at stores. [Hint]

 
 


2 .       Many people still resist online credit-card transactions because of security concerns. [Hint]

 
 


3 .       Digital cash must be supported by a credit card for consumers to complete transactions online. [Hint]

 
 


4 .       Credit-card transactions are free of charge for merchants. [Hint]

 
 


5 .       Micropayments are payments that generally do not exceed $5. [Hint]

 
 


6 .       Merchants earn additional money from each and every credit-card transaction that they are involved in regardless of the amount a consumer spends. [Hint]

 
 


7 .       A smart card generally looks like a credit card and can serve many different functions, from authentication to data storage. [Hint]

 
 


8 .       A contact smart card contains both a coiled antenna and a computer chip, enabling the card to transmit information without the use of a smart card reader. [Hint]

 
 


9 .       Smart cards can require users to enter passwords as a means of security. [Hint]

 
 


10 .       In a public-key cryptography transaction, the receiver's private key decrypts the message encrypted by the sender's public key. [Hint]

 
 


11 .       Each party in a public-key transaction has both a public key and a private key. [Hint]

 
 


12 .       It is computationally infeasible to deduce a private key from a public key. [Hint]

 
 


13 .       If the sender uses the receiver's public key to encrypt a message, the receiver's identity can be authenticated. The sender's identity cannot be authenticated, however, because the receiver's public key is available to anyone. [Hint]

 
 


14 .       Cryptanalysis refers to the study of public-key encryption. [Hint]

 
 


15 .       The goal of most cryptanalytic attacks is to discover the key used to encrypt the message. [Hint]

 
 


16 .       Public-key algorithms are used most often to exchange secret keys securely. [Hint]

 
 


17 .       Most security compromises related to encrypted data stem from poor key management. [Hint]

 
 


18 .       SSL is designed specifically for securing e-business transactions. [Hint]

 
 


19 .       SSL operates between the Internet's TCP/IP and the application software. [Hint]

 
 


20 .       A sender's message is passed to a packet which receives and transmits information from a network. [Hint]

 
 


21 .       TCP cannot determine if packets have been maliciously altered. [Hint]
