- denial-of-service
- digital certificates
- firewall
- virus
- preshared key
- logic bomb

- documents used in encryption and authentication protocols that identify a person or computer and can be verified by a certification authority
- spreads by replicating itself into programs or documents
- monopolizes network services or network bandwidth
- inspects packets as they go into and out of the network
- a series of letters, numbers, and special characters, much like a password, that both communicating devices use to authenticate each other's identity
- malware that's activated when a particular event occurs

Answer 1

Denial-of-service monopolizes network services, digital certificates are used to identify a person or computer, firewall inspects packets, a virus spreads by replicating itself, a pre-shared key authenticates device identity, and a logic bomb is activated by an event.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denial-of-service: Monopolizes network services or network bandwidth

Digital certificates: Documents used in encryption and authentication protocols that identify a person or computer and can be verified by a certification authority

Firewall: Inspects packets as they go into and out of the network

Virus: Spreads by replicating itself into programs or documents

Preshared key: A series of letters, numbers, and special characters used to authenticate identities of communicating devices

Logic bomb: Malware that's activated when a particular event occurs
