Pin, Password, Passphrases, Tokens, smart cards, and biometric devices are all items that can be used for Authentication. When one of these item listed above in conjunction with a second factor to validate authentication, it provides robust authentication of the individual by practicing which of the following?
Answer(s): B
Once an identity is established it must be authenticated. There exist numerous technologies and implementation of authentication methods however they almost all fall under three major areas.There are three fundamental types of authentication:Authentication by knowledge--something a person knowsAuthentication by possession--something a person hasAuthentication by characteristic--something a person is Logical controls related to these types are called "factors."Something you know can be a password or PIN, something you have can be a token fob or smart card, and something you are is usually some form of biometrics.Single-factor authentication is the employment of one of these factors, two-factor authentication is using two of the three factors, and three-factor authentication is the combination of all three factors.The general term for the use of more than one factor during authentication is multifactor authentication or strong authentication.

Which of the following is most appropriate to notify an internal user that session monitoring is being conducted?
Answer(s): D
This is a tricky question, the keyword in the question is Internal users.There are two possible answers based on how the question is presented, this question could either apply to internal users or ANY anonymous/external users.Internal users should always have a written agreement first, then logon banners serve as a constant reminder.Banners at the log-on time should be used to notify external users of any monitoring that is being conducted. A good banner will give you a better legal stand and also makes it obvious the user was warned about who should access the system, who is authorized and unauthorized, and if it is an unauthorized user then he is fully aware of trespassing. Anonymous/External users, such as those logging into a web site, ftp server or even a mail server; their only notification system is the use of a logon banner.References used for this question:KRUTZ, Ronald L. & VINES, Russel D., The CISSP Prep Guide: Mastering the Ten Domains of Computer Security, 2001, John Wiley & Sons, Page 50.andShon Harris, CISSP All-in-one, 5th edition, pg 873
What mechanism does a system use to compare the security labels of a subject and an object?
Because the Reference Monitor is responsible for access control to the objects by the subjects it compares the security labels of a subject and an object.According to the OIG: The reference monitor is an access control concept referring to an abstract machine that mediates all accesses to objects by subjects based on information in an access control database. The reference monitor must mediate all access, be protected from modification, be verifiable as correct, and must always be invoked. The reference monitor, in accordance with the security policy, controls the checks that are made in the access control database.The following are incorrect:Validation Module. A Validation Module is typically found in application source code and is used to validate data being inputted.Clearance Check. Is a distractor, there is no such thing other than what someone would do when checking if someone is authorized to access a secure facility.Security Module. Is typically a general purpose module that prerforms a variety of security related functions.
