Explain the threat in each of the following types of authentication and provide a solution for each scenario below:Alice sends a password, and Bob compares it against a database of passwords. Alice sends a password, and Bob hashes it and compares it against a database of hashed passwords. Alice computes the hash of a password and uses it as secret key in challenge/response protocol. Alice computes the hash of a password and sends it to Bob, who hashes it and compares it against a database of doubly-hashed passwords.

Which of the following best explains how devices and information can be susceptible to unauthorized access due to weak passwords used? 1. Unauthorized individuals can deny service by overwhelming the system with login attempts. 2. Unauthorized individuals can exploit vulnerabilities in compression algorithms to determine a user's password from their decompressed data. 3. Unauthorized individuals can exploit vulnerabilities in encryption algorithms to determine a user's password from their encryption key. 4. Unauthorized individuals can use data mining and other techniques to guess a user's password.
