Quantum Key Distribution provides information-theoretic security based on quantum physics principles.
- True
- False
Answer: True
QKD uses no-cloning theorem and measurement disturbance to detect eavesdropping. Provides provable security unlike computational security of classical cryptography.
The Indian law that governs processing of digital personal data is called the ________ Act 2023.
- Digital Personal Data Protection / DPDP
- Diversity
- Multimodal Learning
- qXR / CAD4TB
Answer: Digital Personal Data Protection / DPDP
DPDP Act 2023 establishes framework for processing digital personal data in India, with rights for data principals and obligations for data fiduciaries.
The Right to be Forgotten allows individuals to request deletion of their personal data under GDPR.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Right to Erasure (Article 17 GDPR) allows individuals to request deletion when data is no longer necessary, consent withdrawn, or processing unlawful. Critical privacy right.
Which regulation requires explicit consent for processing sensitive personal data in the EU?
- GDPR
- ePrivacy Directive
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
GDPR requires explicit consent for special category data; ePrivacy Directive covers electronic communications. Both emphasize user control and transparency in data processing.
Model inversion attacks can reconstruct sensitive training data from model predictions.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Model inversion exploits model confidence scores to infer sensitive attributes of training data. Mitigation: differential privacy, output perturbation, access controls.
The practice of scanning container images for vulnerabilities before deployment is called ________ Scanning.
- Engineering Task Force / IETF
- Red Team / Penetration
- Container / Image
- Shor's
Answer: Container / Image
Container image scanning identifies known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and secrets in images before deployment. Critical for secure CI/CD pipelines in cloud-native environments.
Service mesh provides mutual TLS encryption for service-to-service communication in microservices.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Service mesh (Istio, Linkerd) automatically encrypts service-to-service traffic with mTLS, provides authentication, authorization, and observability without application code changes.
Which Kubernetes security practice restricts pod capabilities to minimize attack surface?
- Pod Security Policies
- Network Policies
- Resource Limits
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Kubernetes security: Pod Security Policies restrict privileges, Network Policies control traffic, Resource Limits prevent DoS. Combined for defense-in-depth in container environments.
The practice of continuously assessing device security posture before granting access is called ________ Assessment.
- Device Posture
- Intranet
- DID / Decentralized Identifiers
- Parquet
Answer: Device Posture
Device posture assessment evaluates endpoint security: OS patches, antivirus status, encryption, compliance. Critical for Zero Trust access decisions in hybrid environments.
Micro-segmentation in Zero Trust limits lateral movement by isolating workloads at the application level.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Micro-segmentation creates granular security policies around individual workloads/applications, containing breaches and preventing attackers from moving laterally across the network.
Step-by-step reasoning in LLMs is called Chain-of-________.
- Modem
- Thought
- e-Sign / Aadhaar e-KYC
- Knowledge
Answer: Thought
Chain-of-Thought prompting generates reasoning steps.
Fine-tuning adapts LLMs to specific tasks.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Fine-tuning updates weights on task-specific data.
Grouping similar data without labels is called ________.
- Differential
- Propellant / ISRU
- Clustering
- Thought
Answer: Clustering
Clustering discovers natural groupings in unlabeled data.
Feature engineering creates new variables to improve performance.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Feature engineering: transformations, interactions, encoding.
Which technique predicts future values from historical data?
- Regression
- Classification
- Time Series Forecasting
- Clustering
Answer: Time Series Forecasting
Time series forecasting models temporal patterns.
Querying data in object storage is called ________ Query.
- Smart / V2G
- mBridge / Multi-CBDC
- Worm
- Serverless
Answer: Serverless
Serverless query engines query object storage directly.
Data lakes store raw data; warehouses store structured data.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Data lakes store raw data; warehouses store curated data.
Which format is optimized for analytics?
- CSV
- JSON
- Parquet
- Avro
Answer: Parquet
Parquet is columnar storage optimized for analytics.
Processing data as it arrives is called ________ Processing.
- Federated
- Stream
- Green
- Bio-molecular / DNA
Answer: Stream
