The way I see it, displaying honesty and forthrightness is the foundation of an auditor's work. That's the one behavior I wouldn't want to compromise on.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Aren't all of these behaviors important for an auditor? I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand the nuances.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I know RSA is a public-key encryption algorithm, but I'm not sure how that relates to PGP or S/MIME. I'll need to review those protocols and how they use RSA.

Remaining calm? That's the easiest part of the job. Auditors should be able to keep their cool even when the client throws a tantrum and tries to bribe them with a lifetime supply of donuts.
