Obfuscation

What is the primary purpose of obfuscation?

• Making data clearer

• Making data easier to understand

• Making data more difficult to understand

• Encrypting data for security

What is the meaning of "steganography" and what is its underlying security principle?

• "Hidden encryption" and security through complexity

• "Concealed writing" and security through obscurity

• "Invisible coding" and security through strong algorithms

• "Secret communication" and security through authentication

Which of the following is NOT a common technique for steganography mentioned?

• Embedding messages in TCP packets

• Hiding information inside an image

• Using invisible watermarks on printed pages

• Encrypting data with a public key

What is the main goal of tokenization in data security?

• To encrypt sensitive data for long-term storage

• To replace sensitive data with a non-sensitive placeholder

• To hash sensitive data for integrity verification

• To compress sensitive data for efficient transmission

How does data masking primarily differ from tokenization?

• Data masking encrypts the entire dataset, while tokenization only encrypts parts.

• Data masking hides some original data from view, while tokenization replaces sensitive data with a non-sensitive placeholder.

• Data masking is used for real-time transactions, while tokenization is for static data.

• Data masking uses mathematical relationships, while tokenization does not.
