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 Policy must be explicit and well defined and enforced by the mechanisms within the system






2. Mandatory Protection






3. Operating System Kernel






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






5. 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






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






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






8. 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.






9. When the RAM and secondary storage are combined the result is __________.






10. In the Orange Book - functionality and assurance are NOT _____________ as they are in the ITSEC and the Common Criteria.






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






12. The Biba Model - ______________: A subject cannot request service (invoke) to subjects of higher integrity






13. The Simple Security rule is refered to as______________.






14. Can be erased - modified and upgraded.






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






16. A form of ROM(Read-Only Memory) that can be modified after it has been manufactured. It can only be programmed only one time.






17. TCB contains The Security Kernel and all ______________.






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






19. The C2 evaluation class of the _________________ offers controlled access protection.






20. Contains the beginning address






21. Ssoftware that is stored within ROM (Read-Only Memory) - (ROM is nonvolatile)






22. There is only only one class in Division D. Reserved for systems that have been evaluated but fail to meet the criteria and requirements of the higher divisions.






23. All users have a clearance for and a formal need to know about - all data processed with the system.






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






25. System Architecture that separates system functionality into Hierarchical layers






26. Remaining parts of the operating system






27. Which computer design approaches is based on the fact that in earlier technologies - the instruction fetch was the longest part of the cycle






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






29. This class ("Structured Protection") requires more stringent authentication mechanisms and well-defined interfaces between layers. Subjects and devices require labels and the system must not allow covert channels.






30. What is called the formal acceptance of the adequacy of a system's overall security by management?






31. Which is a straightforward approach that provides access rights to subjects for objects?






32. Should always trace to individuals responsible for observing and recording the data






33. A is a form of EPROM - but its data storage can be erased and modified electrically by onboard programming circuitry and signals.






34. Applications and user activity






35. When a computer spends more time moving data from one small portion of memory to another THAN Actually processing the data






36. When a vendor submits a product for evaluation - it submits it to the ____________.






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






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






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






40. B3 is also called "Security Domains" and imposes more granularity in each protection mechanism.






41. In Access Control terms it means to be higher than or equal to. In the Bell-Lapadula Model - this is refered to as the dominance relation - which is the relationship of the subject's clearance to the object's classification

42. The Biba Model - ______________: A Subject cannot write data to an object at a higher integrity level (No write Up)






43. If a system initializes in a secure state and all allowed state transitions are secure - the every subsequent state will be secure no matter what inputs occur.






44. Security is made up of: System administration - ________ - installation and configuration mechanisms within the environment - and other security issues.






45. Which Orange Book evaluation level is described as "Controlled Access Protection"? - This class requires a more granular method of providing access control. The system must enforce strict logon procedures and provide decision-making capabilites when






46. The Biba Model adresses _____________________.






47. A1 is also called "Verified Design" and requires formal verification of the design and specifications.






48. Mandatory Access requires that _____________ be attached to all objects.






49. 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 ___________.






50. Contains an Address of where the instruction and dara reside that need to be processed.
