ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

As part of a forensic readiness initiative, your organization plans to record hash digests of key system files so that any unauthorized modifications can be detected later. The security architect is short-listing candidate hash algorithms. Which property must every strong cryptographic hash algorithm provide to ensure a file verified at different times will always produce the exact same digest for an unchanged file?

  • Deterministic output for the same input

  • Compatibility with legacy encryption standards

  • Variable-length output based on input size

  • Reversibility for authorized users

Random Mixed
Questions are selected randomly from all chosen topics, with a preference for those you haven’t seen before. You may see several questions from the same objective or domain in a row.
Rotate by Objective
Questions cycle through each objective or domain in turn, helping you avoid long streaks of questions from the same area. You may see some repeat questions, but the distribution will be more balanced across topics.

Check or uncheck an objective to set which questions you will receive.
