A proxy can control which services (FTP and so on) are used by a workstation , and also aids in protecting the network from outsiders who may be trying to get information about the:
Correct Answer: A
Section: Network and Telecommunications Explanation/Reference: To the untrusted host, all traffic seems to originate from the proxy server and addresses on the trusted network are not revealed. "User base" is incorrect. The proxy hides the origin of the request from the untrusted host. "Operating system design" is incorrect. The proxy hides the origin of the request from the untrusted host. "Net BIOS' design" is incorrect. The proxy hides the origin of the request from the untrusted host. References: CBK, p. 467 AIO3, pp. 486 - 490
Question 37
Which of the following would MOST likely ensure that a system development project meets business objectives?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference: Effective user involvement is the most critical factor in ensuring that the application meets business objectives. A great way of getting early input from the user community is by using Prototyping. The prototyping method was formally introduced in the early 1980s to combat the perceived weaknesses of the waterfall model with regard to the speed of development. The objective is to build a simplified version (prototype) of the application, release it for review, and use the feedback from the users' review to build a second, better version. This is repeated until the users are satisfied with the product. t is a four-step process: initial concept, design and implement initial prototype, refine prototype until acceptable, and complete and release final version. There is also the Modified Prototype Model (MPM. This is a form of prototyping that is ideal for Web application development. It allows for the basic functionality of a desired system or component to be formally deployed in a quick time frame. The maintenance phase is set to begin after the deployment. The goal is to have the process be flexible enough so the application is not based on the state of the organization at any given time. As the organization grows and the environment changes, the application evolves with it, rather than being frozen in time. Reference(s) used for this question: Hernandez CISSP, Steven (2012-12-21).

Question 38
Which of the following statements pertaining to the security kernel is incorrect?
Correct Answer: D
The reference monitor, not the security kernel is an access control concept. The security kernel is made up of software, and firmware components that fall within the TCB and implements and enforces the reference monitor concept. The security kernel mediates all access and functions between subjects and objects. The security kernel is the core of the TCB and is the most commonly used approach to building trusted computing systems. There are three main requirements of the security kernel: It must provide isolation for the processes carrying out the reference monitor concept, and the processes must be tamperproof. It must be invoked for every access attempt and must be impossible to circumvent. Thus, the security kernel must be implemented in a complete and foolproof way. It must be small enough to be able to be tested and verified in a complete and comprehensive manner. The following answers are incorrect: The security kernel is made up of mechanisms that fall under the TCB and implements and enforces the reference monitor concept. Is incorrect because this is the definition of the security kernel. The security kernel must provide isolation for the processes carrying out the reference monitor concept and they must be tamperproof. Is incorrect because this is one of the three requirements that make up the security kernel. The security kernel must be small enough to be able to be tested and verified in a complete and comprehensive manner. Is incorrect because this is one of the three requirements that make up the security kernel.
Question 39
Which of the following can best define the "revocation request grace period"?
Correct Answer: D
The length of time between the Issuer's receipt of a revocation request and the time the Issuer is required to revoke the certificate should bear a reasonable relationship to the amount of risk the participants are willing to assume that someone may rely on a certificate for which a proper evocation request has been given but has not yet been acted upon. How quickly revocation requests need to be processed (and CRLs or certificate status databases need to be updated) depends upon the specific application for which the Policy Authority is rafting the Certificate Policy. A Policy Authority should recognize that there may be risk and lost tradeoffs with respect to grace periods for revocation notices. If the Policy Authority determines that its PKI participants are willing to accept a grace period of a few hours in exchange for a lower implementation cost, the Certificate Policy may reflect that decision.
Question 40
There are parallels between the trust models in Kerberos and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). When we compare them side by side, Kerberos tickets correspond most closely to which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Section: Access Control Explanation/Reference: A Kerberos ticket is issued by a trusted third party. It is an encrypted data structure that includes the service encryption key. In that sense it is similar to a public-key certificate. However, the ticket is not the key. The following answers are incorrect: public keys. Kerberos tickets are not shared out publicly, so they are not like a PKI public key. private keys. Although a Kerberos ticket is not shared publicly, it is not a private key. Private keys are associated with Asymmetric crypto system which is not used by Kerberos. Kerberos uses only the Symmetric crypto system. private key certificates. This is a detractor. There is no such thing as a private key certificate.
