1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ audit log entries as append-only so a past record can never be silently altered.'
We 'treat' entries as append-only — the standard collocation for applying that design constraint. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ each log entry with a hash chained to the previous one so tampering becomes detectable.'
We 'sign' a log entry — the standard, established collocation for cryptographically protecting an audit record. The other options aren't the recognised term here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'A privileged user with write access to the log store can ___ the whole audit trail without detection.'
We say excess access will 'compromise' the trail — the standard collocation for undermining its integrity. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ audit logs to a separate, access-restricted store so application bugs can't touch them.'
We 'ship' logs — the standard collocation for forwarding them to an external destination. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the hash chain periodically to confirm no historical entry has been quietly modified.'
We 'verify' a chain — the standard collocation for confirming its integrity holds. The other options are less idiomatic here.
