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. The group that oversees the processes of evaluation within TCSEC is?






2. An imaginary line that separates the trusted components of the TCB from those elements that are NOT trusted?






3. The Red Book aka Trusted Network Interpretation (TNI) - provides _________________ for Trusted computer and communications network systems under the areas of assurance requirements






4. I/O drivers and utilities

10. Certification is a Technical review that assesses the _____________ - where as Accreditation is management's Official acceptance of the information in the Certification process findings.






11. Security Labels are not required until __________; thus C2 does not require security labels but B1 does






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

14. In the Bell-LaPadula Model the Subject's Label contains ___________________.






15. The Bell-LaPadula model Subjects and Objects are ___________.






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






17. When the address location that is specified in the program instruction contains the address of the final desired location.






18. When a portion of primary memory is accessed by specifying the actual address of the memory location






19. Requires more stringent authentication mechanisms and well-defined interfaces among layers.






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

22. In the Bell-LaPadula Model the Object's Label contains ___________________.






23. When a computer uses more than one CPU in parallel to execute instructions is known as?






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






25. For rhe type of environment that processes sensitive data that require a higher degree of security. It requires systems that are relatively resistant to peneration and compromise






26. Which integrity model defines a constrained data item - an integrity verification procedure and a transformation procedure?






27. Ensuring thta information does not flow from a higher security lever to a lower level in the Bell-LaPadula Model is referred to as ___________________ - which would take place through a "write down" operation. (An actual compromise occurs if and when






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






29. Minimal Security






30. A subject at a given clearance may not read an object at a higher classification






31. Reference Monitor is responsible for ______________ it compares the security labels of a subject and an object






32. The first mathematical model of a multi-level security policy used to define the concept of a secure state - the modes of access - and rules for granting access?






33. An abstract machine which must mediate all access to subjects to objects - be protected from modification - be verifiable as correct - and is always invoked






34. Which would be designated as objects on a MAC system?






35. Which TCSEC level first addresses object reuse?






36. When the contents of the address defined in the program's instruction is added to that of an index register.






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






38. The Simple Security rule is refered to as______________.






39. Bell-LaPadula Model - ______________: A subject that has read and write capabilities can only perform those functions at the same security level - nothing higher and nothing lower.

41. Based on a known address with an offset value applied.






42. In B2 Distinct address spaces must be provided to _________ - and a covert channel analysis is conducted. B2 adds assurance by adding requirements to the design of the system






43. In B1 the security policy is based on Informal statement and the design specifications are reviewed and verified where as in B2 the ___________________ - and the system design and implementation are subject to more thorough review and testing procedu






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






45. Commonly referred to as The Big Mess Because of its lack of structure. MS-DOS is an example of a monolithic operation system
