Exam 6: Java Api-Level Security Features

____ provides a framework and a Java implementation for the SSL and TLS protocols.

A ____ is the instruction that describes the set of operations to be performed on the given input in order to produce the cryptographic output.

____ provide(s) a bit pattern (the signature) that proves that a message came from a given party.

JCA provides by default a concrete implementation of the java.security package.

Technically, a ____ is a data structure used in a public key system to bind a particular, authenticated individual to a particular public key.

____ is a block cipher mode in which every plaintext block encrypted with a block cipher is first exclusive-ORed with the previous ciphertext block.

____ is a data-encoding scheme that enables binary-encoded data to be converted to printable ASCII characters.

What are the padding methods supported by J2SE 5?

____ cryptography enables exchange of secure messages between parties without prior arrangement to exchange keys.

A ____ is used to ensure the integrity of the message when the message is sent from one location to another.

Briefly describe the java.security.cert class.

____ API is a set of functions for building and validating a certification path.

Briefly describe the java.security.interfaces.

____ is a block cipher mode in which each possible block of plaintext has a defined corresponding ciphertext value.

How is the confidentiality of a message kept using secret key cryptography?

How does public key cryptography work?

A(n) ____ refers to a set of packages that supply a concrete implementation of a subset of the cryptography functions used by the Security API.

JCA includes a provider architecture that allows multiple and interoperable cryptography implementations.

A(n) ____________________ is a transparent representation of the key material that makes up a key.
