Paper 1
MPPSC - SSE
This subtopic covers technology, space, and cyber security concepts. It is crucial for MPPSC exams due to frequent questions on IT laws, networking, AI, and space missions.
Key Concepts
IPv6 Address
128-bit address format for next-gen internet protocol.
IT Act 2000
Includes electronic records, digital signatures, and certifying authorities.
Cyber Security
Involves firewalls, phishing, and threat prevention mechanisms.
AI Fundamentals
Includes Turing Test, Machine Learning, and AI bias sources.
Satellite Missions
ISRO's Aditya-L1 for solar study and educational satellites like Sathyabamasat.
Networking Devices
Routers, switches, and gateways manage data packet transfer.
Encryption Algorithms
Symmetric (Blowfish) and asymmetric encryption methods.
Malware Types
Spyware, keyloggers, and ransomware for data theft.
E-Governance
Technology-driven governance for citizen empowerment.
Quantum Computing
Indian Army's Quantum Lab in Mhow for advanced research.
