Encryption quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Encryption card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Encryption does not itself prevent interference but denies the ______ content to a would-be interceptor.
Answer
intelligible. Encryption does not itself prevent interference but denies the intelligible content to a would-be interceptor. From the Encryption article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Santa Cruz de la Sierra 77 · Encryption 73 · Grey 70 · Chitin 67 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This process converts the original representation of the information, known as plaintext, into an alternative form known as ciphertext.
- Encryption does not itself prevent interference but denies the intelligible content to a would-be interceptor.
- For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Encryption article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 62: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
How to get Encryption
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
