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. Using any two authentication methods






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






3. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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






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






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






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






8. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






9. Access control model concerned with information integrity






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






11. The most popular form of authentication






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






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






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






15. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






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






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






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






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






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






21. Using three or more authentication methods






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






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






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






25. 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






26. CER stands for...






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

31. 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






32. ACL stands for...






33. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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






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






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






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






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






39. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






40. Something you know - have - are or location






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






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






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






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






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