QUESTION 13 OF 26

What role does encryption play in a blockchain?

As the interview progresses, you'll continue to be asked a variety of different types of questions. These will include general, technical, operational, behavioral, situational and cultural questions. There is no set pattern interviewers use for these. However, you can anticipate that the questions will become more difficult in the middle and end of the interview. This indicates that the interviewer is gaining confidence in your capabilities and is willing to explore your qualifications in more detail. This technical question is an example of this.

"Encryption is one of the methods used to secure the data within a blockchain. The way encryption works is to encrypt the data and create a key used in the encryption. The data is then transmitted in an encrypted format which makes it impossible to read or decipher. The key used to encrypt the data is provided to the receiving party to decrypt and read the data."
