These questions are part of recent security changes which have been made by Apple at the iTunes App Store, and are have been the subject of much controversy recently. Answer them once and you won't be asked them again, and Yes, they do seem to be a little too obscure to be reliable in 12 months' time! Still, by that time we'll probably have some version of iTunes 11 or 12 or whatever will come after Mountain Lion is launched, and the system might well change again...
