Instructions:
  • Answer 45 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. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






2. Security controls that spot and capture details about a security breach - i.e. a log file






3. Password type based on fact or opinion based information - best for authentication that users do not use often - easy to remember






4. The most popular form of authentication






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






6. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






7. Set of rules enforced by an OS to enhance security by forcing users to employ strong passwords






8. Access control model designed to prevent authorized access to classified information - concerned with information confidentiality






9. Data - hardware - networks - facility are access control ________






10. ACL stands for...






11. Token that generates a password based on challenge/response






12. Security controls that fix a problem or prevent further damage






13. The process of recovering passwords from stored/transmitted data






14. Access control model concerned with information integrity






15. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






16. Data can only be accessed through applications - designed to prevent unauthorized modification - errors and fraud






17. Access control model that does not allow data to be accessed directly - concerned with separation of duty or function






18. A password attack that uses a look up table containing pre-computed hashes






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






20. CER stands for...






21. Lists of permission associated with objects - used in the DAC model - typically include a implicit deny rule






22. A small room with two authentication doors - after gaining access to the 1st door the subject is locked in until access to granted to the 2nd door






23. Builds on the dictionary attack by adding numbers and special characters and does some common substitution






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






25. Form of physical authentication - id/smart card - atm card - token - key - passport - something you __________






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






27. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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






29. Security controls that thwart a security breach - i.e. require user ID and password






30. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






31. Using any two authentication methods






32. Used by most ACLs - also known as deny by default






33. User - programs - processes - requesting permissions are access control ________






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






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






36. The point at which the false rejection rate equals the false acceptance rate - used to determine the accuracy of biometric systems - low value = high accuracy






37. A password attack that tries all possible combinations until the correct password is identified






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






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






40. Form of authentication that relies on human characteristic - fingerprint - hand geometry - facial recognition - eye scan - voice print - DNA - something you _________






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






42. Token that generates a password based on time or event






43. Using three or more authentication methods






44. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






45. Something you know - have - are or location
