Ch11 RQ Solutions

The document contains 20 review questions about topics related to cryptography, including steganography, hashing, symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms, digital signatures, and encryption standards like AES and RSA. Specifically, it asks about the areas data can be hidden in files using steganography, what data that is to be encrypted is called, and examples of how hashing is used except for verifying passwords on Linux systems. It also asks about characteristics of secure hash algorithms, protections provided by hashing like integrity, examples of symmetric ciphers, the strongest symmetric algorithm, and keys used to encrypt messages with asymmetric algorithms.
