Which consensus mechanism is most susceptible to a Sybil attack in an enterprise permissioned blockchain?
Answer: Proof of Work (PoW)
Proof of Work is vulnerable to Sybil attacks because an attacker can create many identities and accumulate hashing power without a trusted identity layer.
In an enterprise Hyperledger Fabric deployment, what is the primary role of the Membership Service Provider (MSP)?
Answer: Managing digital identities and access control
The MSP defines the rules for validating identities and governs which participants are allowed to perform specific actions on the network.
A company suspects that a rogue peer is endorsing fraudulent transactions. Which Hyperledger Fabric feature helps detect this?
Answer: Endorsement policy validation at commit time
Endorsement policies are re-validated by committing peers, so transactions endorsed by unauthorized nodes are rejected at commit time.
What threat does 'transaction malleability' pose in enterprise blockchain environments?
Answer: Altering a transaction's unique identifier before it is confirmed
Transaction malleability allows an attacker to change a transaction's hash before confirmation, potentially enabling double-spend or replay attacks.
Which approach best mitigates the risk of sensitive data exposure on a public blockchain used for enterprise supply chain?
Answer: Using zero-knowledge proofs to verify data without revealing it
Zero-knowledge proofs allow enterprises to prove the validity of a claim without exposing the underlying data on the public ledger.
An enterprise blockchain network experiences a 51% attack scenario in its proof-of-stake system. What is the correct term for the minimum stake an attacker must control?
Answer: 51% of total staked tokens
In PoS, controlling more than 50% of staked tokens gives an attacker the ability to dominate block production and potentially reorganize the chain.
Which security layer is most critical to configure when exposing a Hyperledger Fabric peer node to external enterprise applications?
Answer: Mutual TLS (mTLS) for gRPC communication
Mutual TLS ensures both the client and server authenticate each other's certificates, preventing unauthorized connections to fabric peer endpoints.
