Comptia Security +: Network Access

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.
1. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






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






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






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






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






6. Using three or more authentication methods






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






8. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






9. Something you know - have - are or location






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






11. Preset (key in knob) - deadbolt - combination padlock - cipher






12. Data - hardware - networks - facility are access control ________






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






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






15. A small room with two authentication doors - after gaining access to the 1st door the subject is locked in until access to granted to the 2nd door






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






17. CER stands for...






18. The most popular form of authentication






19. Access control model concerned with information integrity






20. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






21. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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






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






24. The process of recovering passwords from stored/transmitted data






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






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

32. Procedures -processes - controls that determine access are access control ________






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






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






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






36. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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






39. Using any two authentication methods






40. Data can only be accessed through applications - designed to prevent unauthorized modification - errors and fraud






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






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






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






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






45. 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
