Which of the following are NOT a countermeasure to traffic analysis?

  1. Padding messages.
  2. Eavesdropping.
  3. Sending noise.
  4. Faraday Cage

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Eavesdropping is not a countermeasure, it is a type of attack where you are collecting traffic and attempting to see what is being send between entities communicating with each other.
The following answers are incorrect:
Padding Messages. Is incorrect because it is considered a countermeasure you make messages uniform size, padding can be used to counter this kind of attack, in which decoy traffic is sent out over the network to disguise patterns and make it more difficult to uncover patterns. Sending Noise. Is incorrect because it is considered a countermeasure, tansmitting non- informational data elements to disguise real data.
Faraday Cage Is incorrect because it is a tool used to prevent emanation of electromagnetic waves. It is a very effective tool to prevent traffic analysis.

Which of the following is not one of the three goals of Integrity addressed by the Clark-Wilson model?

  1. Prevention of the modification of information by unauthorized users.
  2. Prevention of the unauthorized or unintentional modification of information by authorized users.
  3. Preservation of the internal and external consistency.
  4. Prevention of the modification of information by authorized users.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

There is no need to prevent modification from authorized users. They are authorized and allowed to make the changes. On top of this, it is also NOT one of the goal of Integrity within Clark-Wilson.
As it turns out, the Biba model addresses only the first of the three integrity goals which is Prevention of the modification of information by unauthorized users. Clark-Wilson addresses all three goals of integrity.
The Clark­Wilson model improves on Biba by focusing on integrity at the transaction level and addressing three major goals of integrity in a commercial environment. In addition to preventing changes by unauthorized subjects, Clark and Wilson realized that high-integrity systems would also have to prevent undesirable changes by authorized subjects and to ensure that the system continued to behave consistently. It also recognized that it would need to ensure that there is constant mediation between every subject and every object if such integrity was going to be maintained.
Integrity is addressed through the following three goals:
1. Prevention of the modification of information by unauthorized users.
2. Prevention of the unauthorized or unintentional modification of information by authorized users.
3. Preservation of the internal and external consistency.

Answer(s): D
