Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following illustrate the security through obscurity concept?Choose all that apply.
A
Code obfuscation
B
Steganography
C
SSID broadcast suppression
D
Encryption
E
Substitution ciphers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In symmetric encryption the same key is used for encryption and decryption. It is therefore critical that a secure method is considered to transfer the key between sender and recipient.

Detailed explanation-2: -If we need to randomize an encryption scheme, we commonly use an initialization vector or an IV. This is a type of nonce that provides randomization for this encryption process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the answers listed below refers to a solution designed to strengthen the security of session keys? In cryptography, the term “Key stretching” refers to a mechanism for extending the length of a cryptographic key to make it more secure against brute-force attacks.
