CISSP Security Architecture And Design

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Involves sharing the processor amoung all ready processes






2. Based on the Bell-LaPadula Security model - and evidence of reference monitor enforcement must be available.






3. Contains the ending address






4. A channel within a computer system or network that is designed for the authorized transfer of information is identified as a(n)?






5. The TCB is the ________________ within a computer system that work together to enforce a security policy.






6. Minimal Security






7. What access control technique is also known as multilevel security?






8. Bell-LaPadula Model - ____________ : A subject at a given security level can NOT READ data that reside at a higher security level.






9. Security Policies that prevent information from flowing from a higher security level to a lower security level are called ____________.






10. The hardware - firmware and software elements of a trusted computing base that implement the reference monitor concept.






11. Which evaluation class of the Trusted Network Interpretation (TNI) offers security domains?






12. Accreditation is the authorization by management to _____________________. This authorization may be either provisional or full.






13. Another word for Primary storage and distinguishes physical memory from virtual memory.






14. The type of environment that would require A1 systems is the most secure of secure environments. It deals with top-secret information and cannot adequately trust anyone using the systems without strict authentication - restrictions and auditing.

16. What is defined as the hardware - firmware and software elements of a trusted computing base that implement the reference monitor concept?






17. TCB contains The Security Kernel and all ______________.






18. B1 is the ___________________ of the Trusted Network Interpretation (TNI) or TCSEC that offers labeled security protection.






19. Discretionary protection






20. Can be erased - modified and upgraded.






21. Contains the beginning address






22. The Orange book does NOT Cover ________________ - And Database management systems






23. Permits a database to have two records that are identical except for Their classifications






24. In which users are processing information at the same sensitivity level; thus - strict access control and auditing measures are not required. It would be a trusted envirnment with low security concerns.






25. Mediates all access and Functions between subjects and objects.






26. What Orange Book security rating is reserved for systems that have been evaluated but fail to meet the criteria and requirements of the higher divisions?






27. The reference monitor must mediate all access - _____________ - be verifiable as correct - and must always be invoked.






28. In B2 Subjects and devices requre labels and the system must NOT allow ________. No Trapdoors exists.






29. Based on The Bell-LaPadula model - because it allows for multilevel security to be integrated into the code.






30. Mandatory Protection






31. This type of environment is highly secured environment that processes very sensitive information. It requires systems that are highly resistant to penetration.






32. The reserved hard drive space used to Extend RAM capabilities. Windows system use the pagefile.sys file to reserve this space






33. Audit data must be captured and protected to enforce accountability






34. The security kernel is the mechanism that _____________ of the reference monitor concept.






35. A portion of a process. When the thread is generated - it shares the same domain(resources) as its process.






36. Happen because input data is not checked for appropriate length at time of input






37. Simpler instructions that require fewer clock cycles to execute.






38. System Architecture that separates system functionality into Hierarchical layers






39. Which increases the performance in a computer by overlapping the steps of different instructions?






40. n this class more granularity is provided in each protection mechanism - and the programming code that is not necessary to support the security policy is excluded.






41. A type of memory used for High-speed writing and reading activities.






42. What does the Clark-Wilson security model focus on






43. The omission of networks and network components in the TCSEC was recognized and addressed in the "Trusted Network Interpretation of the TCSEC" otherwise known as ___________.






44. The Bell-LaPadula Model is a _______________ that enforces Confidentiality aspect of access control. Formed by David Bell and Leonard LaPadula.






45. The process of Evaluating the security stance of the software or system against a selected set of standards or policies. This may precede accreditation but is not a required precursor.
