Cryptography Quiz 1

Four Main Aspects of Computer Security

Secrecy, Authentication, Integrity, and Nonrepudiation.

Secrecy

Prevents unauthorized access to information.

Authentication

Verifies the identity of users or systems.

Integrity

Ensures data is not altered without authorization.

Nonrepudiation

Prevents parties from denying actions they performed (e.g., sending a message).

CLR (Common Language Runtime)

The CLR manages the execution of .NET applications by handling memory management, security, and code execution.

MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language

MSIL is the intermediate code produced when .NET source code (like C#) is compiled, which is later converted into machine code by the CLR at runtime.

Jitter

Refers to small, unpredictable variations in timing that are used as a source of randomness.
