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 Bell-LaPadula Model is a _______________.






2. The object reuse concept must also be invoked - meaning that any medium holding data must not contain any remnants of information after it is released for another subject to use. All data must be efficiently erased once the subject is doen with the m






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






4. Which Orange Book evaluation level is described as "Discretionary Security Protection"?






5. Developed after the Bell-LaPadula model. Its a state machine model and is very similar to the Bell-LaPadula Model.






6. Which describe a condition when RAM and Secondary storage are used together?






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






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






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






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






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






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






13. Succesfully Evaluated products are placed on?






14. In both the Bell-LaPadula and Biba Models if the word "* or Star is used - _______________.






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






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






17. Buffer overflows occurs when a program or process tries to store more data in a _____________ than it was intended to hold.






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






19. The assignment of a specific individual to administer the security-related functions of a system.






20. Trusted facility management is an assurance requirement only for ________________.






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






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






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






24. TCSEC addresses Confidentiality - but _____________ . The TCSEC focuses mainly on one attribute of Security Confidentiality.






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






26. 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.






27. What does the simple integrity axiom mean in the Biba model?






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






29. Includes the security kernel as well as other security-related system functions that are within the boundary of the trusted computing base. System elements that are outside of the security perimeter need not be trusted.






30. The Availability - Integrity and confidentiality requirements of multitasking operating systems






31. Which can be used as a covert channel?






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






33. Minimal Security






34. Logical access control mechanisms are used to enforce authentication and the uniquenes of each individual's identification.






35. Involves sharing the processor amoung all ready processes






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






38. The Security Kernel is the Core of The TCB and is the _____________ to building trusted computing systems.






39. 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.






40. In ______________ the subject must have: Need to Know for ALL the information contained within the system.






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






42. 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?






43. A system uses the Reference Monitor to ___________________ of a subject and an object?






44. Which Orange Book evaluation level is described as "Verified Design"?






45. As per FDA data should be ______________________________.






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






47. What are the components of an object's sensitivity label?






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






49. The subject must have Need to Know for ONLY the information they are trying to access.






50. What model use an access control triples and requires that the system maintain separation of duty ?
