Kerberos is efficient against the following:
Dictionary attacks
Repetition attacks
Denial-of service attacks
Social engineering
How is the session key generated within the Diffie Helman protocol?
The session key is generated by exchanging random values between transmitter and recipient and the use of an algorithm whose security is based on the impossibility of calculating discrete logarithms
The session key is randomly generated by the transmitter and sent encrypted to the recipient
The session key is generated by a third trustful party
The session key is generated simultaneously by transmitter and recipient using a time based algorithm
Who developed the X.509 standard, describing the digital certificates syntax?
International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

Certificate Repository serves to:
Logging the events related to the certificates management
CRL distribution
Interface used by the end-users for submitting the issuing certificates requests
The distribution of digital certificates
What is the extension that defines the categories of applications that can use a digital certificate?
Key Usage
Subject Public Key Info
Extended Key Usage
Policy Constraints
What is the role of an HSM - Hardware Security Module?
Accelerates the cryptographic operations
Ensures the cryptographic keys protection
Allows keeping secret the used cryptographic algorithms
Ensures protection for the computer which tuns the installed CA software
The term "key escrow" refers to:
Protocol which negotiates a session key between two entities
Prime number test used in the RSA key generation process
Check if a user holds the private key associated to the public key from a digital certificate
Arrangement by which the cryptographic keys are stored on a trusted third party and used when necessary

Without being encrypted, the protection being ensured by the access grants and credentials at the database level
Encrypted by the Key Recovery Agent’s public key
Encrypted with the Backup Operator’s private key
Encrypted with the CA’s private key
The advantages of using a Bridge CA in order to ensure the PKI interoperability are:
It is a standardized method and therefore supported by most PKI applications
Reducing the number of bilateral cross-certification
All users will use a single point of trust - Bridge CA
Simplifying the process of certification policy equivalency
What should be done to ensure the protection of the cryptographic keys?
Keeping the secret of the encryption algorithms used
The choice of key lengths as large as possible
To use validated cryptographic algorithms and modules
The users’ awareness of the importance of correct cryptographic key management
When do you need to revoke a digital certificate?
If the cryptographic algorithms and key lengths are no longer suitable for the necessary protection
If the private key associated to the public key certificate is compromised
If the user leaves the organization
When the user's digital certificate came into possession of a third party
The main features of the OCSP protocol are:
It is used by the clients in order to access the Certificate Repository
Relieves the clients by the CRL’s specific complex processing
Allows the clients to revoke the certificates in case of the compromise of the private key
It is a simple request / response protocol
RA – Registration Authority is designed to:
Check the issuing certificate requests and the identity of the final entities
Archive the private keys used to decrypt data by the end-users
