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. Simpler instructions that require fewer clock cycles to execute.






2. Users need to be Identified individually to provide more precise acces control and auditing functionality.






3. Verification Protection






4. What model use an access control triples and requires that the system maintain separation of duty ?






5. Which in the Orange Book ratings represents the highest level of trust?






6. 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.






7. In an automated system ________________ could be achieved by: A computer system designed to identify individuals responsible for any input.






8. Should always trace to individuals responsible for observing and recording the data






9. The process of Evaluating the security stance of the software or system against a selected set of standards or policies. This may precede accreditation but is not a required precursor.






10. Accreditation is also defined as an ____________________ by a designated authority that an information system is approved to operate in a particular security configuration with a prescribed set of safeguards






11. Minimal Security






12. If an operating system permits executable objects to be used sequentially by multiple users without a refresh of the objects - what security problem is most likely to exist?






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






14. Ssoftware that is stored within ROM (Read-Only Memory) - (ROM is nonvolatile)






15. TCB contains The Security Kernel and all ______________.






16. Accreditation is the authorization by management to _____________________. This authorization may be either provisional or full.






17. Which describe a condition when RAM and Secondary storage are used together?






18. Based on the Bell-LaPadula Security model - and evidence of reference monitor enforcement must be available.






19. Which is an ISO standard product evaluation criteria that supersedes several different criteria






20. Data in Cache can be accessed much more quickly than Data






21. A logical form of separation used by secure computing systems - Processes are _____________ so that each cannot access objects outside its permitted domain






22. The C2 evaluation class of the _________________ offers controlled access protection.






23. Which computer design approaches is based on the fact that in earlier technologies - the instruction fetch was the longest part of the cycle






24. The Physical memory address that the CPU uses






25. Contains an Address of where the instruction and dara reside that need to be processed.






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






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






28. The Biba Model adresses _____________________.






29. Security Policies that prevent information from flowing from a higher security level to a lower security level are called ____________.






30. The Orange book does NOT Cover ________________ - And Database management systems






31. A1 is also called "Verified Design" and requires formal verification of the design and specifications.






32. A domain of trust that shares a single security policy and single management






33. What does the simple security (ss) property mean in the Bell-LaPadula model?






34. The Bell-LaPadula Model is a _______________ that enforces Confidentiality aspect of access control. Formed by David Bell and Leonard LaPadula.






35. 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.






36. TCSEC provides a means to evaluate ______________________.






37. What are the components of an object's sensitivity label?






38. Configuration management is also defined in the Orange Book BUT As a _____________________ and NOT an operational assurance requirement.






39. Can be erased - modified and upgraded.






40. The security kernel is the mechanism that _____________ of the reference monitor concept.






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






42. The Bell-LaPadula model Subjects and Objects are ___________.






43. 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

45. Commonly referred to as The Big Mess Because of its lack of structure. MS-DOS is an example of a monolithic operation system






46. Which uses Protection Profiles and Security Targets?






47. When a portion of primary memory is accessed by specifying the actual address of the memory location






48. B3 is also called "Security Domains" and imposes more granularity in each protection mechanism.






49. 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.






50. Remaining parts of the operating system
