CSP Unit 10 Pre-Assessment - Cybersecurity

Includes a program as an integral part of its function. Can be physical (e.g. self-driving car), non-physical computing software (e.g. picture editing software), or non-physical computing concepts (e.g., e-commerce).

• Keylogging

• Computing Innovation

• Encryption

• Phishing

Information about an individual that identifies, links, relates, or describes them.

• phishing

• keylogging

• personally identifiable information (PII)

• malware

A technique that attempts to trick a user into providing personal information. That personal information can then be used to access sensitive online resources, such as bank accounts and emails.

• phishing

• keylogging

• malware

• rogue access point

The use of a program to record every keystroke made by a computer user in order to gain fraudulent access to passwords and other confidential information.

• rogue access point

• phishing

• malware

• keylogging

Software intended to damage a computing system or to take partial control over its operation.

• phishing

• keylogging

• malware

• rogue access point

A wireless access point that gives unauthorized access to secure networks.

• rogue access point

• malware

• phishing

• keylogging

A process of encoding messages to keep them secret, so only "authorized" parties can read them.

• decryption

• encryption

• symmetric key encryption

• asymmetric key encryption

A process that reverses encryption, taking a secret message and reproducing the original plain text.

• encryption

• public key encryption

• symmetric key encryption

• decryption

Involves one key for both encryption and decryption.

• encryption

• decryption

• symmetric key encryption

• public key encryption

Pairs a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. The sender does not need the receiver's private key to encrypt a message, but the receiver's private key is required to decrypt the message.
