Question 56
Which DNS resource record maps a hostname directly to an IPv6 128-bit address?
An 'A' record maps a hostname to a 32-bit IPv4 address, while a 'quad-A' ('AAAA') record maps a hostname to a 128-bit IPv6 address.

What does HTTP status code 301 indicate?
HTTP 301 is a redirection code indicating that the requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI.
Which HTTP method is designed to be 'idempotent', meaning making multiple identical requests has the same effect as making a single request?
GET, PUT, and DELETE are all defined as idempotent by HTTP semantics: repeating an identical request has the same intended effect as making it once. Therefore more than one of A-C is correct.
In asymmetric key cryptography, if Alice wants to send a confidential message to Bob that only Bob can decrypt and read, which key should Alice use to encrypt the message?
For confidentiality in public key cryptography, plaintext is encrypted with the recipient's public key (Bob's Public Key) and can only be decrypted by the recipient's private key (Bob's Private Key).
To create a Digital Signature ensuring non-repudiation and authenticity of a message, which key must the sender use to encrypt the message hash?
A digital signature is created by hashing the document and encrypting the hash using the sender's private key. Anyone with the sender's public key can verify authenticity.
