Answer all questions below and test your knowledge.

1
In a zero-trust architecture implementing BeyondCorp principles, which cryptographic construct is most critical for continuously verifying device and user identity before granting access to any microservice, rather than just at the network perimeter?
Question 1
2
A security team discovers an API endpoint vulnerable to a padding oracle attack because it returns distinct error messages for 'invalid padding' versus 'invalid MAC'. Which of these mitigation strategies is most directly effective and cryptographically sound?
Question 2
3
In preparation for quantum computing threats, an organization adopts a hybrid key exchange mechanism for its TLS 1.3 connections. What does this most accurately involve?
Question 3
4
During a forensic investigation of a suspected key compromise, analysts find that an ECDSA private key was used to sign two different messages producing signatures (r, s1) and (r, s2) with the same 'r' value. What is the most critical implication?
Question 4
5
Which of these scenarios describes a realistic threat vector against a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) in a hardware security module (HSM)?
Question 5
6
When implementing a secure multi-party computation protocol for a privacy-preserving data analytics platform, which cryptographic primitive is primarily used to allow computation on encrypted data without decrypting it first?
Question 6
7
In the context of cryptographic agility for long-term data storage, what is the primary security risk of using a symmetric cipher that lacks resistance to multi-target attacks, like a non-AES cipher with a 64-bit block size?
Question 7
8
A new side-channel attack termed 'Hertzbleed' demonstrates that dynamic voltage and frequency scaling in modern CPUs can cause what type of cryptographic vulnerability?
Question 8
