How to make Security+ flashcards from your own notes

Security+ covers a lot of ground, from threat types and cryptography to network architecture and incident response, so Security+ flashcards work best when they are built from the material you are actually studying. DeckOwl reads your PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages and drafts cards you can edit before your first review.

Cards generated from your own PDFs, slides, notes and page photos
Spaced repetition scheduling for terms like hashing, encryption and least privilege
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations
Export to Anki or CSV on Plus, study in the browser on the free plan

Example Security+ flashcards on security basics

What does the CIA triad stand for?Confidentiality, integrity and availability. These are the three core goals of most security controls.

What is the principle of least privilege?Users and processes get only the access they need for their job, which limits the damage if an account is compromised.

What is the difference between a vulnerability and a threat?A vulnerability is a weakness in a system, while a threat is an actor or event that could exploit that weakness.

What does a hash function do in security?It maps input to a fixed-length digest, so any change to the data produces a different output, which supports integrity checks.

How do symmetric and asymmetric encryption differ?Symmetric encryption uses one shared key for encryption and decryption, while asymmetric encryption uses a public and private key pair.

Generate the full set

Built from your own material

Drop in your course PDFs, slide decks, typed notes or photos of textbook pages and get cards that match what you are studying.

Spaced repetition

Cards you struggle with return sooner, and the ones you know move further apart, so review time goes to the gaps.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same material into multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations, or map out how security concepts connect.

How it works

Upload your study material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of your notes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards, edit any wording you want to change, and remove cards you do not need.

Study on a schedule

Work through the day's cards in the browser. Spaced repetition decides when each card comes back.

Spaced repetition then schedules each card so the ones you miss return sooner, which suits a certification exam where you need to recall definitions and comparisons quickly. The free plan includes 3 generations a month with study in the browser, and Plus adds unlimited generations plus exports to Anki and CSV.
