Accountability - -correct answer---Identification, Authentication, Authorization, and Access.
Administrative Controls - -correct answer---Procedures implemented to define the roles,
responsibilities, policies, and administrative functions needed to manage the control
environment.
Application Protocol Intrusion Detection System (APIDS) - -correct answer---Focuses its
monitoring and analysis on a specific application protocol or protocols in use by the
computing system.
Asymmetric Cryptography - -correct answer---Utilizes two keys: a public key and a private
key. The public key is used to encrypt data sent from the sender to the receiver and is shared
with everyone. Private keys are used to decrypt data that arrives at the receiving end and
are very carefully guarded by the receive
Asymmetric Key Algorithms - -correct answer---1. Secure Sockets Layer (RSA) by Ron Rivest,
Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman
2. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) - can secure all browser connections to the Web servers
3. ElGamal
4. Diffie-Hellman
5. DSS
6. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP)
7. Transport Layer Security (TLS)

8. Voice over IP (VoIP)
Attack surface - -correct answer---The total of the available avenues through which our
operating system might be attacked
Attribute-based Access Control (ABAC) - -correct answer---Model of access control that is,
logically, based on attributes from a particular person, of a resource, or of an environment.
Example:
VPN connection is set to timeout after a certain time
Auditing - -correct answer---The primary means to ensure accountability through technical
means.
Authentication Attacks - -correct answer---Targets and attempts to exploit the authentication
process a web site uses to verify the identity of a user, service, or application.
Authenticity - -correct answer---Attribution as to the owner or creator of the data in
question.
Authenticity can be enforced through the use of digital signatures.
Authorization Attacks - -correct answer---An attack that exploit the vulnerability of client-
side authentication.
Availability - -correct answer---refers to the ability to access our data when we need it. Loss
of availability can refer to a wide variety of breaks anywhere in the chain that allows us
access to our data. Such issues can result from power loss, operating system or application

problems, network attacks, compromise of a system, or other problems. When such issues
are caused by an outside party, such as an attacker, they are commonly referred to as a
denial of service (DoS) attack.
BinScope Binary Analyzer - -correct answer---A tool developed by Microsoft to examine
source code for general good practices
Biometric: Acceptability - -correct answer---A measure of how acceptable the particular
characteristic is to the users of the system
Biometric: Circumvention - -correct answer---Describes the ease with which a system can be
tricked by a falsified biometric identifier.
Biometric: Collectability - -correct answer---How easy it is to acquire a characteristic with
which we can later authenticate a user
Biometric: Performance - -correct answer---Set of metrics that judge how well a given
system functions. Such factors include speed, accuracy, and error rate
Biometric: Permanence - -correct answer---How well a particular characteristic resists
change over time and with advancing age.
Biometric: Uniqueness - -correct answer---Measure of how unique a particular characteristic
is among individuals
Biometric: Universality - -correct answer---Characteristics in the majority of people we
expect to enroll for the system.
Block Cipher - -correct answer---Takes a predetermined number of bits, known as a block, in
the plaintext message and encrypts that block
