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






2. What prevents a process from accessing another process' data?






3. Logical access control mechanisms are used to enforce authentication and the uniquenes of each individual's identification.






4. The Orange book requires protection against two_____________ - which are these Timing and Storage






5. 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.






6. Includes the security kernel as well as other security-related system functions that are within the boundary of the trusted computing base. System elements that are outside of the security perimeter need not be trusted.






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






8. The Red Book aka Trusted Network Interpretation (TNI) - provides _________________ for Trusted computer and communications network systems under the areas of assurance requirements






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






10. In both the Bell-LaPadula and Biba Models if the word "Simple is used ______________.






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






12. According to the Orange Book - trusted facility management is not required for which security levels?






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






14. What does the simple integrity axiom mean in the Biba model?






15. Buffer overflows occurs when a program or process tries to store more data in a _____________ than it was intended to hold.






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






17. In access control terms - the word "dominate" refers to ___________.






18. An imaginary line that separates the trusted components of the TCB from those elements that are NOT trusted?






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






20. Mandatory Access requires that _____________ be attached to all objects.






21. The object reuse concept must also be invoked - meaning that any medium holding data must not contain any remnants of information after it is released for another subject to use. All data must be efficiently erased once the subject is doen with the m






22. THE (Technische Hogeschool Eindhoven) - VAX/VMS - Multics and Unix . THE and Multics are no longer in use






23. Security is made up of: System administration - ________ - installation and configuration mechanisms within the environment - and other security issues.






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






25. 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.






26. The combination of RAM - Cache and the Processor Registers






27. Individual subjects must be uniquely identified.






28. For a subject to have read access to an object in a Multi-Level Security Policy - it is necessary that the subject's sensitivity label must ____________________.

29. The Simple Security rule is refered to as______________.






30. Developed after the Bell-LaPadula model. Its a state machine model and is very similar to the Bell-LaPadula Model.






31. Contains the ending address






32. Mediates all access and Functions between subjects and objects.






33. B1 is also called "Labeled Security" and each data object must have a classification label and each subject a clearance label. On each access attempt - the classification and clearance are checked to verify that the access is permissible.






34. The security mechanisms and the system as a whole must perform predictably and acceptably in different situations continuously.






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






36. 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.






37. Levels of Security and Levels of Trust Lower Letters of the alphabet represent higher levels of security. Higher numbers indicate a greater level of trust.






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






39. Can be erased - modified and upgraded.






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






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






42. TCB contains The Security Kernel and all ______________.






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






44. Discretionary access control is based on individuals and/or groups. It requires a separation of users and information and identification and authentication of individual entities






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






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






47. The total combination of protection mechanisms within a computer system






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






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






50. When a computer uses more than one CPU in parallel to execute instructions is known as?
