Not D: The X.509 standard defines the format for public key certificates. Pg. 213 Krutz: The CISSP Prep Guide: Gold Edition.

Question: 4
Which of the following is a weakness of both statistical anomaly detection and pattern matching? A- Lack of ability to scale. B- Lack of learning model. C- Inability to run in real time. D- Requirement to monitor every event.

Answer: B
Explanation: Disadvantages of Knowledge-based ID systems: This system is resources-intensive; the knowledge database continually needs maintenance and updates New, uniquE,or original attacks often go unnoticed. Disadvantages of Behavior-based ID systems: The system is characterized by high false alarm rates. High positives are the most common failure of ID systems and can create data noise that makes the system unusable. The activity and behavior of the users while in the networked system might not be static enough to effectively implement a behavior-based ID system. -Ronald Krutz The CISSP PREP Guide (gold edition) pg 88

Question: 5
Digital signature users register their public keys with a certification authority, which distributes a certificate containing the user's public key and digital signature of the certification authority. In create the certificatE,the user's public key and the validity period are combined with what other information before computing the digital signature? A- Certificate issuer and the Digital Signature Algorithm identifier B- User's private key and the identifier of the master key code C- Name of secure channel and the identifier of the protocol type D- Key authorization and identifier of key distribution center

Answer: A
Explanation: The key word is 'In create the certificate.." Certificates Certificates that conform to X.509 contain the following data: Version of X.509 to which the certificate conforms; Serial number (from the certificate creator); Signature algorithm identifier (specifies the technique used by the certificate authority to digitally sign the contends of the certificate); Issuer name (identification of the certificate authority that issues the certificate) Validity perido (specifies the dates and times - a starting date and time and an ending date and time - during which the certificate is valued); Subject's name (contains the distinguished namE,or DN, of the entity that owns the public key contained in the certificate); Subject's public key (the meat of the certificate - the actual public key of the certificate owner used to setup secure communications) pg 343-344 CISSP Study Guide byTittel

Question: 6
Why are macro viruses easy to write? A- Active contents controls can make direct system calls B- The underlying language is simple and intuitive to apply. C- Only a few assembler instructions are needed to do damage. D- Office templates are fully API compliant.

Answer: B
Explanation: Macro Languages enable programmers to edit, deletE,and copy files. Because these languages are so easy to usE,many more types of macro viruses are possible. - Shon Harris All-in-one CISSP Certification Guide pg 785

Question: 8
Which one of the following is concerned with masking the frequency, lengtH,and origindestination patterns of the communications between protocol entities? A- Masking analysis B- Protocol analysis C- Traffic analysis D- Pattern analysis

Answer: C
Explanation: Traffic analysis, which is sometimes called trend analysis, is a technique employed by an intruder that involves analyzing data characteristics (message lengtH,message frequency, and so forth) and the patterns of transmissions (rather than any knowledge of the actual information transmitted) to infer information that is useful to an intruder) . -Ronald Krutz The CISSP PREP Guide (gold edition) pg 323

Question: 9
In which situation would TEMPEST risks and technologies be of MOST interest? A- Where high availability is vital. B- Where the consequences of disclose are very high. C- Where countermeasures are easy to implement D- Where data base integrity is crucial

Answer: B
Explanation: Emanation eavesdropping. Receipt and display of information, which is resident on computers or terminals, through the interception of radio frequency (RF) signals generated by those computers or terminals. The U.S. government established a program called TEMPEST that addressed this problem by requiring a shielding and other emanation-reducing mechanisms to be employed on computers processing sensitive and classified government information. . -Ronald Krutz The CISSP PREP Guide (gold edition) pg 416
