17. A password attack that encrypts all the words in the dictionary and compares the resulting hash values with those of the password






18. Error caused by biometrics where the system accepts impostors - also know as false acceptance rate (FAR)






19. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






20. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






21. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






22. Information classification is no write up - no read down






23. Information classification is no read up - no write down
