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






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






3. Something you know - have - are or location






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






5. 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






6. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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






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






9. Access control model concerned with information integrity






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






11. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






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






14. Using three or more authentication methods






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






16. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






25. The most popular form of authentication






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






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






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






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






30. CER stands for...






31. ACL stands for...






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






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






34. Using any two authentication methods






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






36. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






37. 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






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






39. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






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






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






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






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






44. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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