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 total(sum)combination of protection mechanisms within a computer system. The TCB includes hardware - software - and firmware.






2. A set of objects that a subject is able to access






3. Which TCSEC level first addresses object reuse?






4. Operating System Kernel






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






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






7. In B2 Distinct address spaces must be provided to _________ - and a covert channel analysis is conducted. B2 adds assurance by adding requirements to the design of the system






8. Has two individual assurace ratings. C1 and C2. The Higher the number of assurance rating the greater the protection






9. Bell-LaPadula Model - ____________ : A subject at a given security level can NOT READ data that reside at a higher security level.






10. A form of ROM(Read-Only Memory) that can be modified after it has been manufactured. It can only be programmed only one time.






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






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






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






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






15. The omission of networks and network components in the TCSEC was recognized and addressed in the "Trusted Network Interpretation of the TCSEC" otherwise known as ___________.






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






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






18. Documentation must be provided - including test - design - and specification document - user guides and manuals






19. Bell-LaPadula - ______________: This rule is based on named subjects and objects. It specifies that specific permissions allow a subject to pass on permissions to pass on permissions at its own discretion. These permissions are stored in an access ma






20. A subject at a given clearance may not read an object at a higher classification






21. TCB contains The Security Kernel and all ______________.






22. Certification is a Technical review that assesses the _____________ - where as Accreditation is management's Official acceptance of the information in the Certification process findings.






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






24. When the contents of the address defined in the program's instruction is added to that of an index register.






25. Simpler instructions that require fewer clock cycles to execute.






26. Verification Protection






27. This class ("Structured Protection") requires more stringent authentication mechanisms and well-defined interfaces between layers. Subjects and devices require labels and the system must not allow covert channels.






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






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






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






31. Which would be designated as objects on a MAC system?






32. A process that resides in a privileged domain to be able to execute its instructions and process its data with the assurance that programs in a different domain can NOT negatively affect its environment.






33. In which users are processing information at the same sensitivity level; thus - strict access control and auditing measures are not required. It would be a trusted envirnment with low security concerns.






34. Access control labels must be associated properly with objects.






35. Involves sharing the processor amoung all ready processes






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






37. Which evaluation class of the Trusted Network Interpretation (TNI) offers security domains?






38. 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.






39. Mandatory access control is enfored by the use of security labels.






40. Security Labels are not required until __________; thus C2 does not require security labels but B1 does






41. Software - hardware and firmware must be able to be tested individually to ensure that each enforces the security policy in an effective manner throughout their lifetimes.






42. The reserved hard drive space used to Extend RAM capabilities. Windows system use the pagefile.sys file to reserve this space






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






44. Contains the beginning address






45. Can be erased - modified and upgraded.






46. Bell-LaPadula model was proposed for enforcing access control in _____________________.






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






48. Minimal Security






49. The Bell-LaPadula Model is a _______________.






50. 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.
