1. Which encryption method uses the same key for both encryption and decryption?

Asymmetric encryption

Homomorphic encryption

Hashing

Symmetric encryption

2. What is the main advantage of using asymmetric encryption over symmetric encryption?

It allows secure communication without sharing a secret key beforehand

It requires only one key for both encryption and decryption

It eliminates the need for a private key

It is significantly faster than symmetric encryption

3. Which backup strategy ensures minimal data loss by continuously backing up changes as they occur?

Differential backup

Full backup

Continuous data protection (CDP)

Incremental backup

4. Which of the following is the most secure way to store encryption keys?

Storing them in a secure hardware security module (HSM)

Hardcoding them in application source code

Keeping them in plaintext files on the server

Using the same key for all encryption operations

5. What is the purpose of data masking in managing sensitive data?

To replace sensitive data with fictional but structurally similar data

To encrypt data for secure transmission over a network

To store data in an unaltered form for easy retrieval

To compress large datasets for efficient storage

6. Which of the following is the best way to ensure the integrity of stored data?

Relying on access control mechanisms alone

Implementing hashing with cryptographic functions

Using only symmetric encryption for data protection

Storing multiple copies of data without verification

7. What is a major drawback of using a full backup strategy for data recovery?

It only backs up system configurations and not user data

It does not support multiple versions of a file

It does not capture recent data changes

It consumes significant storage space and takes longer to complete

8. Which encryption technique allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it?

Elliptic curve cryptography

Homomorphic encryption

AES encryption

Steganography

9. Why is it important to use a multi-location backup strategy?

To avoid the need for data encryption

To make data accessible to anyone without restrictions

To protect against data loss due to natural disasters or cyberattacks

To reduce the cost of data storage

10. Which security measure ensures that deleted sensitive data cannot be recovered?

Compressing the data before deletion

Storing deleted files in a hidden folder

Data wiping and secure deletion techniques

Moving sensitive files to a different directory before deletion
