📝 Sample Questions

Q1. What is the term for compile‑time checking that ensures a program adheres to security policies?

🔹 A. Static analysis

🔹 B. Dynamic analysis

🔹 C. Runtime monitoring

🔹 D. Code obfuscation

💡 Difficulty: easy | ✅ Correct: A

Q2. How does the concept of abstract data types (ADTs) support compiler‑based enforcement of protection policies?

🔹 A. ADTs hide implementation details, allowing the compiler to treat all operations uniformly

🔹 B. ADTs provide built‑in encryption for data fields

🔹 C. ADTs force all functions to be pure and side‑effect free

🔹 D. ADTs automatically generate access‑control lists at compile time

💡 Difficulty: medium | ✅ Correct: A

Q3. Explain how the principle of least privilege is realized through compiler‑based enforcement in a language with linear types.

🔹 A. Linear types force every variable to be immutable, which automatically limits privileges

🔹 B. Linear types ensure that resources are used exactly once, preventing duplication and unintended sharing, so the compiler can guarantee that only the code that explicitly receives a capability can access the resource

🔹 C. Linear types encrypt all data, ensuring least privilege

🔹 D. Linear types remove the need for any runtime checks

💡 Difficulty: hard | ✅ Correct: B
