the adaptive one-way KDF? Adaptive because the workload increases each year to keep up with advances in hardware technology. You now have control of how slow you want it to be to crack those passwords. The count should be: A (doubled each subsequent year), B (tripled each subsequent year), C (doubled each subsequent two years)

in a specific order by the Diffie-Hellman key agreement, used as part of negotiating a session key for SSH for example. Place the steps into the correct order. E. Both client and server agree on a symmetric cipher, so that they are both encrypting/decrypting with the same block cipher, usually AES F. Each party then create a public key which they exchange with the other party. These public keys are created using the symmetric cipher from step 2, the shared prime number from step 1, and derived from the private key from step 3 C. Both client and server come to agreement on a seed value, that is a large prime number D. All communications from here on are encrypted with the same shared secret key, the connection from here on is known as the binary packet protocol. Each party can use their own shared secret key to encrypt and decrypt, messages from the other party A. Each party then creates another prime number of their own to be used as a private key for this ephemeral DH interaction B. The party receiving the other parties public key, uses this, along with their own private key, and the shared prime number from step 1 to compute their own secret key. Because each party does the same, they both arrive at the same (shared/symmetric/secret) key.

A (Use Control Groups to limit, track and monitor the resources available to each container) B (Reduce the number of System calls that can be made from within your container) C (Change the default user from root to one of lower privileges) D (Improve application security) E (Fine tune the Linux Namespaces (mnt, PID, net, UTS, IPC, user)) F (Make sure the images you are consuming have been checked with the likes of (Haskell Dockerfile Linter, Lynis, Docker Bench, CoreOS Clair, Banyanops collector, Anchore, TwistLock, Drydock, Actuary))
