Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Hashing algorithm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5

The MD5 message-digest algorithm is a widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value. Although MD5 was initially designed to be used as a cryptographic hash function, it has been found to suffer from extensive vulnerabilities. It can still be used as a checksum to verify data integrity, but only against unintentional corruption. It remains suitable for other non-cryptographic purposes, for example for determining the partition for a particular key in a partitioned database.

I’m pretty confident MD5 is a hashing algorithm, but I wonder if they might try to trick us with the options.

I think MD5 is a hashing algorithm, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s considered secure anymore.

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I'm pretty confident I can identify the key activities involved in prospective UR for surgical procedures.

This seems like a straightforward permissions question. I'll carefully read through the options and think about who would logically have the ability to delete an investigation.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully to make sure I get the right API command.

I'm a bit confused by the options. I'll need to revisit the course materials to make sure I fully grasp the relationships between the different WFM components.
