1.Ensuring the integrity of business information is the PRIMARY concern of
A. Encryption Security
B. Procedural Security
C. Logical Security
D. On-line Security
Answer: B
Procedures are looked at as the lowest level in the policy chain because they are closest to the computers and
provide detailed steps for configuration and installation issues. They provide the steps to actually implement
the statements in the policies, standards, and guidelines...Security procedures, standards, measures,
practices, and policies cover a number of different subject areas. - Shon Harris All-in-one CISSP
Certification Guide pg 44-45

2.Which one of the following actions should be taken FIRST after a fire has been detected?
A. Turn off power to the computers
B. Call the fire department
C. Notify management
D. Evacuate all personnel
Answer: D
Protection of life is of the utmost importance and should be dealt with first before looking to save material
objects. . - Shon Harris All-in-one CISSP Certification Guide pg 625

3.Which one of the following is the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol for message handling?
A. X.25
B. X.400
C. X.500
D. X.509
Answer: B
An ISO and ITU standard for addressing and transporting e-mail messages. It conforms to layer 7 of the OSI
model and supports several types of transport mechanisms, including Ethernet, X.25, TCP/IP, and dial-up
lines. - http://www.77cn.com.cn/TERM/X/X_400.html
Not A: This is wrong X25 is the method that defines transport of point-to-point packet switching networks.
Not D: "The X.509 standard defines the format for public key certificates." Pg. 213 Krutz: The CISSP Prep
Guide: Gold Edition.

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)

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. Certificat

cissp test

e 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
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 alogrithim identifier (specifies the technique used by the certificate authority to digitally
sign the contens 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 valied); Subject's name (contains the distinguished name, or DN, of the
entity that owns the public key contained in teh certificate); Subject's public key (the meat of the certificate -
the actual public key of the certificate owneer used to setup secure communications) pg 343-344 CISSP

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
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

7.Tracing violations, or attempted violations of system security to the user responsible is a function of
A. authentication
B. access management
C. integrity checking
D. accountability
Answer: D
Auditing capabilities ensure that users are accountable for their actions, verify that the security policies are
enforced, worked as a deterrent to improper actions, and are used as investigation tools. - Shon Harris Allin-
one CISSP Certification Guide pg 182

8.Which one of the following is concerned with masking the frequency, length, and origin-destination
patterns of the communications between protocol entities?
A. Masking analysis
B. Protocol analysis
C. Traffic analysis
D. Pattern analysis
Answer: C
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

9.In wh
ich situation would TEMPEST risks and technologies be of MOST interest?
A. Where high availability is vital.
B. Where the consequences of di

cissp test

sclose are very high.
C. Where countermeasures are easy to implement
D. Where data base integrity is crucial
Answer: B
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
US 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

10.In which state must a computer system operate to process input/output instructions?
A. User mode
B. Stateful inspection
C. Interprocess communication
D. Supervisor mode
Answer: D
A computer is in a supervisory state when it is executing these privileged instructions. (privileged
instructions are executed by the system a
dministrator or by an individual who is authorized to use those
instructions.) . -Ronald Krutz The CISSP PREP Guide (gold edition) pg 254-255
