Which of the following is a Checkpoint proprietary encryption algorithm?
A.
DES
B.
FWZ-1
C.
3DES
D.
CAST
E.
AES
Explanation:
: As stated in the official CCSE NG Courseware, “FWZ-1 is the Checkpoint’s proprietary
symmetric encryption algorithm, it uses a 40 bit key and is only supported by the FWZ encryptions
scheme. FWZ support in-place encryption, encrypting the payload portion (data) of the packet and
leaving the original TCP/IP headers intact. Because packet size is not increased, in-place
encryption allows for better network performance than the provided by IKE encryption. See Page
7.10 of CCSE NG Official Courseware. (VPN1-FW1 Management II NG FP-1) .
