Question 1 of 1074

A potential problem related to the physical installation of the Iris Scanner in regards to the usage of the iris pattern within a biometric system is:

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

A potential problem related to the physical installation of an Iris Scanner involves ensuring that direct sunlight does not shine into the optical unit's aperture. This is because the optical unit utilizes a camera and infrared light to capture the iris image. Sunlight can interfere with the imaging process and impact the accuracy of the biometric identification system. Ensuring that the scanner is placed in an appropriate location where it is not exposed to direct sunlight is crucial to maintain effective operation.

Question 2 of 1074

In Mandatory Access Control, sensitivity labels attached to object contain what information?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

In Mandatory Access Control (MAC), sensitivity labels attached to objects contain both the item's classification and category set. The classification indicates the general level of sensitivity (e.g., confidential, secret), while the category set (or compartment set) specifies the specific areas or types of information within that classification. This combination ensures that access is controlled based on both the sensitivity level and the specific need-to-know categories.

Question 3 of 1074

What are the components of an object's sensitivity label?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

The components of an object's sensitivity label are a single classification and a Compartment Set. The classification represents the level of sensitivity (e.g., confidential, secret) while the Compartment Set includes specific categories or compartments applicable to the object.

Question 4 of 1074

What does it mean to say that sensitivity labels are "incomparable"?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

Sensitivity labels are said to be incomparable when neither label contains all the categories of the other. In this context, categories refer to specific classifications or designations within the sensitivity labels. If a category in one label does not exist in the other label, the labels can't be compared directly, thus making them incomparable.

Question 5 of 1074

Which of the following is

true about Kerberos?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

Kerberos relies on symmetric ciphers for its operation. It uses secret keys to encrypt and decrypt data, such as tickets, which are used to authenticate requests between clients and services. This approach ensures that credentials are protected during the authentication process. Kerberos does not utilize public key cryptography, nor does it exchange passwords in plain text; instead, passwords are used to generate secret keys. Additionally, Kerberos is not a second-party authentication system, but a third-party one where the authentication process involves a trusted third-party server.
