Instructions:
  • Answer 45 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.

2. ACL stands for...






3. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






4. Authentication method that include pin - password - code words - personal information






5. The point at which the false rejection rate equals the false acceptance rate - used to determine the accuracy of biometric systems - low value = high accuracy






6. Password type based on fact or opinion based information - best for authentication that users do not use often - easy to remember






7. Access control model concerned with information integrity






8. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






9. User - programs - processes - requesting permissions are access control ________






10. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






11. Form of authentication that relies on human characteristic - fingerprint - hand geometry - facial recognition - eye scan - voice print - DNA - something you _________






12. Error caused by biometrics where the system rejects authorized individuals - also know as false rejection rate (FRR)






13. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






14. The most popular form of authentication






15. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






16. Security controls that spot and capture details about a security breach - i.e. a log file






17. Used by most ACLs - also known as deny by default






18. Lists of permission associated with objects - used in the DAC model - typically include a implicit deny rule






19. CER stands for...






20. A password attack that encrypts all the words in the dictionary and compares the resulting hash values with those of the password






21. Using any two authentication methods






22. Information classification is no write up - no read down






23. Information classification is no read up - no write down






24. A password attack that uses a look up table containing pre-computed hashes

26. Token that generates a password based on challenge/response






27. Form of physical authentication - id/smart card - atm card - token - key - passport - something you __________






28. Builds on the dictionary attack by adding numbers and special characters and does some common substitution






29. A password attack that tries all possible combinations until the correct password is identified






30. Set of rules enforced by an OS to enhance security by forcing users to employ strong passwords






31. Security controls that fix a problem or prevent further damage






32. Error caused by biometrics where the system accepts impostors - also know as false acceptance rate (FAR)






33. Password type that best defends against password attacks - i.e. tokens






34. Access control model that does not allow data to be accessed directly - concerned with separation of duty or function






35. Token that generates a password based on time or event






36. Access control model designed to prevent authorized access to classified information - concerned with information confidentiality






37. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






38. Security controls that thwart a security breach - i.e. require user ID and password






39. Using three or more authentication methods






40. Feature of an OS that allows for logical access control by grouping subjects with common characteristics






41. Something you know - have - are or location
