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.

19. 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.






20. Bell-LaPadula Model - ______________: A subject that has read and write capabilities can only perform those functions at the same security level - nothing higher and nothing lower.






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

25. Which is a straightforward approach that provides access rights to subjects for objects?






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






27. 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
