31. Feature of an OS that allows for logical access control by grouping subjects with common characteristics






32. Procedures -processes - controls that determine access are access control ________






33. Error caused by biometrics where the system rejects authorized individuals - also know as false rejection rate (FRR)






34. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






35. Password type that best defends against password attacks - i.e. tokens






36. Using any two authentication methods






37. Authentication method that include pin - password - code words - personal information






38. Preset (key in knob) - deadbolt - combination padlock - cipher
