Identify the resources these functions depend upon. 5. Calculate how long these functions can survive without these resources. 6. Identify vulnerabilities and threats to these functions. 7.

Question 137

Correct Answer: C
In 1973 Bell and LaPadula created the first mathematical model of a multi-level security system. The following answers are incorrect: Diffie and Hellman. This is incorrect because Diffie and Hellman was involved with cryptography. Clark and Wilson. This is incorrect because Bell and LaPadula was the first model. The Clark- Wilson model came later, 1987. Gasser and Lipner. This is incorrect, it is a distractor. Bell and LaPadula was the first model.
Question 138
Which of the following is often implemented by a one-for-one disk to disk ratio?
Correct Answer: A
This is often implemented by a one-for-one disk-to-disk ratio. RAID Level 2 provides redundancy by writing all data to two or more drives set. The performance of a level 1 array tends to be faster on reads and slower on writes compared to a single drive, but if either of the drive sets fails, no data is lost. This is a good entry-level redundant system, since only two drives are required as a minimum; however, since one drive is used to store a duplicate of the data, the cost per megabyte is high. This level is commonly referred to as mirroring. Please visit http://www.sohoconsult.ch/raid/raid1.html for a nice overview of RAID Levels. For the purpose of the exam you must be familiar with RAID 0 to 5, 10, and 50.
