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. When a computer spends more time moving data from one small portion of memory to another THAN Actually processing the data






2. 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.






3. 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.






4. The _________________ specified in the Orange Book are: System architecture - System integrity - Covert channel analysis - Trusted facility management and Trusted recovery.






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






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






7. If a system initializes in a secure state and all allowed state transitions are secure - the every subsequent state will be secure no matter what inputs occur.






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






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






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






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






12. Which integrity model defines a constrained data item - an integrity verification procedure and a transformation procedure?






13. The hardware - firmware and software elements of a trusted computing base that implement the reference monitor concept.






14. 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






15. Verification Protection






16. 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

17. Which TCSEC level first addresses object reuse?






18. What is called the formal acceptance of the adequacy of a system's overall security by management?






19. Remaining parts of the operating system






20. The Physical memory address that the CPU uses






21. 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






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






23. 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






24. A nonvolatile storage media etc computer hard drive - floppy disks and CD-ROMs






25. Requires more stringent authentication mechanisms and well-defined interfaces among layers.






26. A channel within a computer system or network that is designed for the authorized transfer of information is identified as a(n)?






27. The Biba Model - ______________: A subject cannot request service (invoke) to subjects of higher integrity






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






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






30. The reference monitor must mediate all access - _____________ - be verifiable as correct - and must always be invoked.






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






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






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






34. Succesfully Evaluated products are placed on?






35. Applications and user activity






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






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






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






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






40. Can be erased - modified and upgraded.






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






42. Happen because input data is not checked for appropriate length at time of input






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