Technology – True/False – GK Questions

ISRU extracts water ice, electrolyzes into hydrogen/oxygen for propellant. Critical for sustainable lunar exploration and deep space missions by reducing Earth launch mass.

QEC codes (surface code, Shor code) protect quantum information from decoherence and noise. Critical for fault-tolerant quantum computing but requires significant qubit overhead.

Accountability (GDPR Article 5, DPDP Act Section 8) requires documented policies, training, audits, and breach response procedures. Critical for regulatory compliance.

Model extraction queries API to infer model architecture/parameters, enabling intellectual property theft or adversarial example generation. Mitigation: query rate limiting, output perturbation.

CWPP provides unified security for VMs, containers, serverless across AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premises. Critical for consistent security posture in hybrid cloud.

Continuous authentication adjusts verification requirements based on behavioral analytics, device posture, location, and other risk signals. Critical for Zero Trust security posture.

Stratified sampling maintains class proportions in train/test splits, critical for imbalanced classification.

Micro-segmentation creates granular security zones, containing breaches and limiting attacker movement.

Data minimization limits collection to what's necessary for specified purpose. Reduces privacy risks, storage costs, breach impact.

Defensive distillation trains a student model to mimic a teacher's softened outputs, reducing gradient magnitudes and adversarial vulnerability.

IAM systems manage user identities, authentication, authorization. Critical for implementing least privilege access controls in Zero Trust.

India Semiconductor Mission implements ₹76,000 crore incentive scheme for fabs, display fabs, ATMP, design. Partnerships with global players announced.

QEC codes (surface code, Shor code) encode logical qubits across many physical qubits to detect/correct errors. Critical for fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Right to Portability (GDPR Article 20) enables individuals to obtain and reuse personal data across services. Promotes competition and user control.

Membership inference exploits model confidence to infer training data membership. Mitigation: differential privacy, regularization, output perturbation.

Runtime security (Falco, Tetragon) monitors system calls, network activity, file access in real-time to detect threats in containerized environments.

SDP creates dynamic, identity-based perimeters: resources invisible until user/device authenticated and authorized. Critical for reducing attack surface.

Digital India Act aims to address: platform accountability, user rights, emerging tech governance, algorithmic transparency. Complements DPDP Act and IT Rules.

UPI's success driven by interoperability, zero MDR, and innovation. Inspired similar systems globally: Singapore PayNow, UAE, France discussions.

QKD uses no-cloning theorem and measurement disturbance to detect eavesdropping. Provides provable security unlike computational security of classical cryptography.
