About the Cryptography test
Cryptography is one of the most important fields in computer science today. Virtually all businesses store data of some form or another in databases; securing that data and preventing it from getting into the wrong hands is a growing challenge. For this reason, hiring candidates with a strong knowledge of cryptography is essential to keeping your business and customer data safe from potential threats.
This Cryptography test evaluates candidates’ knowledge of public and private key cryptography, as well as their skills and abilities in using digital signatures, hashing, and message authentication codes.
This screening test will help you identify cryptographers who know how to ensure that data is exchanged securely between parties, how to store data securely in a database, and how to ensure authentication and verification of important documents.
This cryptography test makes use of scenario-based questions, ensuring that candidates who do well on this screening test have the skills to make decisions based on key cryptographic and data-security concepts. This test will help you hire cryptographers who are skilled in keeping your business data secure.
