JAVA was developed so that the same program could be executed on multiple hardware and operating system platforms, it is not Architecture Specific.
The following answers are incorrect:
Object-oriented. Is not correct because JAVA is object-oriented. It should use the object-oriented programming methodology.
Distributed. Is incorrect because JAVA was developed to be able to be distrubuted, run on multiple computer systems over a network.
Multithreaded. Is incorrect because JAVA is multi-threaded that is calls to subroutines as is the case with object-oriented programming.
A virus is a program that can replicate itself on a system but not necessarily spread itself by network connections.

Surprised it's only 40 bits, I expected more security!

I thought it was 56 bits, but I guess not.

Wait, 40 bits? That seems super weak.

The Clipper Chip uses a 40-bit key size.

I thought the Clipper Chip was associated with 80 bits, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I should have reviewed that section more thoroughly!

I have a vague memory that the Clipper Chip had a 64-bit key size. It might be worth double-checking that.

I remember practicing a question about encryption key sizes, and I think 56 bits was mentioned a lot, but I don't recall if it was for the Clipper Chip.

I think the Clipper Chip used a 40-bit key, but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like I read that somewhere.

I'm drawing a blank on the Clipper Chip specifics. But I know 80 bits was a common key size for government encryption, so I'll go with that as my best guess.

Okay, let me reason this through. The Clipper Chip was meant to be a secure government standard, so the key size was likely larger than 40 or 56 bits. I'm going to go with 64 bits.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the Clipper Chip was controversial, but I can't remember the exact key size. I'll have to think it through step-by-step.

I'm pretty confident the answer is 80 bits. That was the standard key size for a lot of government encryption back then.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. The Clipper Chip was a government encryption standard, so I'll need to think carefully about the key size they might have used.

The Clipper Chip? Wasn't that the one that was supposed to give the government a backdoor into our encryption? I'm going with 'none of the above' on this one!

Didn't the Clipper Chip have something to do with those old 'key escrow' schemes? I'll guess 56 bits, just to be on the safe side.

Oh boy, the Clipper Chip... Wasn't that the one the government tried to sneak in back in the 90s? 40 bits sounds about right for that era.
