Compilers - ANSWER ✓ Compilers translate large sections of program
instructions.
cohesive module - ANSWER ✓ The cohesive module refers to a piece of software
code that either does not depend on or depends less on other software modules to
be executed. High cohesiveness of a software program represents best
programming due to reduced dependency levels.
Coupling - ANSWER ✓ Coupling refers to the level of interconnection required
between various software modules in a software program to perform a specific
task. A lower coupling indicates lesser dependence on other programs and higher
performance.
High-level languages - ANSWER ✓ High-level languages require less time to
code a program compared to low-level programming languages. This is because
high-level languages use objects that act as independent functional modules having
a specific functionality and reduce the number of programmers involved in coding
application instructions
rules of behavior - ANSWER ✓ The rules of behavior identify the rules for
appropriate use and protection of data. Least privilege ensures that users are
granted access to only what they need. A data owner determines who has access to
a system, but that is not rules of behavior. Rules of behavior apply to users, not
systems or security controls.
,Bind variable - ANSWER ✓ The Bind variable is used to enhance the database
performance by allowing a single statement to execute multiple variables. Bind
variables are placeholders for values sent to a database server in a SQL query. Bind
variables permit the reuse of previously issued SQL statements by executing a
prepared set of instructions with the parameters provided at runtime.
data control language (DCL). - ANSWER ✓ Database security is implemented by
data control language (DCL).
Database normalization - ANSWER ✓ Database normalization is a process of
deleting duplicate data from a database. Normalization ensures that the attributes in
a table depend only on the primary key.
Substitute variables - ANSWER ✓ Substitute variables are used to replace values
in SQL PLUS commands.
How is the Building Security in Maturity Model (BSIMM) used to measure the
maturity of a software assurance program? - ANSWER ✓ By looking for
evidence of security activities in the SDLC
Which statement best defines BSIMM? - ANSWER ✓ BSIMM is designed to
help organizations understand, measure, and plan a software security initiative.
GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) - ANSWER ✓ Known as the Financial
Modernization Act of 1999. It is a United States federal law that requires
financial institutions to explain how they share and protect their customers'
private information. To be GLBA compliant, financial institutions must
communicate to their customers how they share the customers' sensitive data,
inform customers of their right to opt-out if they prefer that their personal data
not be shared with third parties.
What are the three methods of sanitization? - ANSWER ✓ Overwriting
Deguassing
Destruction
Mandatory Access Control (MAC) - ANSWER ✓ Uses security labels for
access control. Highly restrictive, usually used within government agencies.
E.g. TS, SCI, etc.
, Discretionary Access Control (DAC) - ANSWER ✓ A means of restricting
access to objects based on the identity of subjects and/or groups to which they
belong.
What are the problems with passwords? - ANSWER ✓ Passwords can be
insecure, and easily broken. Dictionary words are not advised. Passwords are
inconvenient, and repudiable.
RADIUS - ANSWER ✓ Remote Access Dial-In User Service; client/server
protocol and software that enables remote access users to communicate with a
central server to authenticate dial-in users and authorize their access to the
requested system or service.
Cryptosystem - ANSWER ✓ is the hardware or software implementation that
transforms plaintext into ciphertext (encrypting it) and back into plaintext
(decrypting it).
Cryptography - ANSWER ✓ the art of protecting information by transforming
it into an unreadable format, called cipher text
Cryptanalysis - ANSWER ✓ The science or art of breaking a cryosystem
Cryptology - ANSWER ✓ The umbrella study of cryptography and
cryptanalysis
Cryptographers rely on two basic methods of disguising messages - ANSWER
✓ Transposition, in which letters are rearranged into a different order
Substitution, in which letters are replaced by other letters and/or symbols.
Symmetric Key Encryption - ANSWER ✓ Encryption system in which a single
key is used for both encryption and decryption. DES. 3DES. AES.
Clearing: - ANSWER ✓ Clearing: Prepares media for reuse and assures that the
cleared data cannot be recovered using traditional recovery tools
Purging: - ANSWER ✓ Purging: Intense form of clearing that prepares media for
reuse in less secure environments
, Declassification: - ANSWER ✓ Declassification: Involves any process that purges
media or a system in preparation for reuse in an unclassified environment
Sanitization: - ANSWER ✓ Sanitization: Ensures that data cannot be recovered by
any means
tranquility principle - ANSWER ✓ The tranquility principle used in the Bell-
LaPadula model prevents the security level of subjects and objects from being
changed once they have been created. For this reason, the Bell-LaPadula model is
considered to be very static in nature. The strong tranquility property states that
objects never change their security level.
Bell-LaPadula model - ANSWER ✓ The Bell-LaPadula model was one of the first
mathematical models of a multilevel security policy used to define a secure state
machine. It addresses information control flow, security levels, and access modes.
Access permissions are defined using an access control matrix that defines the
classification system and the class of subjects and objects. Information flow occurs
when a subject access, observes, or alters an object. One limitation of the Bell-
LaPadula model is that it contains covert channels, which is a communication
pathway that enables a process to transfer information in a way that violates the
system security model. It prevents information from being written to a lower level
of security.
relational database mode - ANSWER ✓ A relational database model uses rows
and columns to arrange data and presents data in tables. The fundamental entity in
a relational database is the relation. Relational databases are the most popular.
Microsoft's SQL Server is a relational database.
object-oriented database (OODB) - ANSWER ✓ An object-oriented database
(OODB) model can store graphical, audio, and video data. A popular object-
oriented database is db4objects from Versant Corporation.
object-relational database - ANSWER ✓ An object-relational database is a
relational database with a software front end written in an object-oriented
programming language. Oracle 11g is an object-relation database.
