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






2. 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?






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






4. The security mechanisms and the system as a whole must perform predictably and acceptably in different situations continuously.






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






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






7. In access control terms - the word "dominate" refers to ___________.






8. 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.






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






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






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






12. 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

13. Users need to be Identified individually to provide more precise acces control and auditing functionality.






14. To ensure that the Trusted Computing Base is not tampered with during shipment or installation.






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






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






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






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






19. 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






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






21. According to the Orange Book - trusted facility management is not required for which security levels?






22. 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?






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






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






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






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






27. Intended for environments that require systems to handle classified data.






28. Discretionary access control is based on individuals and/or groups. It requires a separation of users and information and identification and authentication of individual entities






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






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






31. 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.






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






33. 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.






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






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






36. The Orange Book describes four hierarchical levels to categorize security systems. Which levels require mandatory protection?






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






38. The reference monitor - in accordance with the security policy - ____________ that are made in the access control database.






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






40. Configuration management is also defined in the Orange Book BUT As a _____________________ and NOT an operational assurance requirement.






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






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






43. 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.






44. The Indexed memory addresses that software uses






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






46. Contains the beginning address






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






48. The Biba Model adresses _____________________.






49. The Bell-LaPaula Model's main goal was to ___________________ in an unauthorized manner. (Developed by the US gov)






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