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. A process that resides in a privileged domain to be able to execute its instructions and process its data with the assurance that programs in a different domain can NOT negatively affect its environment.






2. A nonvolatile storage media etc computer hard drive - floppy disks and CD-ROMs






3. The Indexed memory addresses that software uses






4. Mandatory Protection






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






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






7. System Architecture that separates system functionality into Hierarchical layers






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






9. The biggest difference between System High Security Mode and Dedicated Security Mode is: ______.






10. 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

11. A set of objects that a subject is able to access






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






13. 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.






14. The Biba Model adresses _____________________.






15. Individual subjects must be uniquely identified.






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






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






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






19. Users are trusted but a certain level of accountability is required. C2 over is seen as the most reasonable class for commmercial applications - but the level of protection is still relatively weak.






20. A domain of trust that shares a single security policy and single management






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






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






23. The Biba Model is not concerned with security levels and confidentiality. It uses _________________.






24. The *-Property rule is refered to as ____________.






25. 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.






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






27. Which uses Protection Profiles and Security Targets?






28. Which TCSEC level first addresses object reuse?






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






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






31. Documentation must be provided - including test - design - and specification document - user guides and manuals






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






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






34. Which in the Orange Book ratings represents the highest level of trust?






35. Mandatory access control is enfored by the use of security labels.






36. If an operating system permits executable objects to be used sequentially by multiple users without a refresh of the objects - what security problem is most likely to exist?






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






38. The _________________ specified in the Orange Book are: System architecture - System integrity - Covert channel analysis - Trusted facility management and Trusted recovery.






39. 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.






40. For a subject to have read access to an object in a Multi-Level Security Policy - it is necessary that the subject's sensitivity label must ____________________.

42. The Simple Security rule is refered to as______________.






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






44. Components considered as part of the Trusted Computing Base (from the Orange Book) are?






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






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