17. How is near field communication like Ethernet? (A) It does not enforce security itself, but relies on higher-level protocols such as SSL. (B) It forces each endpoint to communicate through a switch. (C) It provides collision avoidance. (D) All of the above.
18. Why is free Wi-Fi, such as in coffee shops, a popular target for session hijacking? (A) The unsecured Wi-Fi allows an attacker to place malicious files on the user's machine.
