SSCP 試験問題 96
When attempting to establish Liability, which of the following would be describe as performing the ongoing maintenance necessary to keep something in proper working order, updated, effective, or to abide by what is commonly expected in a situation?
正解: A
My friend JD Murray at Techexams.net has a nice definition of both, see his
explanation below:
Oh, I hate these two. It's like describing the difference between "jealously" and "envy."
Kinda the same thing but not exactly. Here it goes:
Due diligence is performing reasonable examination and research before committing to a
course of action. Basically, "look before you leap." In law, you would perform due diligence
by researching the terms of a contract before signing it. The opposite of due diligence
might be "haphazard" or "not doing your homework."
Due care is performing the ongoing maintenance necessary to keep something in proper
working order, or to abide by what is commonly expected in a situation. This is especially
important if the due care situation exists because of a contract, regulation, or law. The
opposite of due care is "negligence."
In summary, Due Diligence is Identifying threats and risks while Due Care is Acting upon
findings to mitigate risks
EXAM TIP:
The Due Diligence refers to the steps taken to identify risks that exists within the
environment. This is base on best practices, standards such as ISO 27001, ISO 17799,
and other consensus. The first letter of the word Due and the word Diligence should remind
you of this. The two letters are DD = Do Detect.
In the case of due care, it is the actions that you have taken (implementing, designing,
enforcing, updating) to reduce the risks identified and keep them at an acceptable level.
The same apply here, the first letters of the work Due and the work Care are DC. Which
should remind you that DC = Do correct.
The other answers are only detractors and not valid.

Controls to keep password sniffing attacks from compromising computer systems include which of the following?
正解: C
To minimize the chance of passwords being captured one-time passwords would prevent a password sniffing attack because once used it is no longer valid. Encryption will also minimize these types of attacks.
The following answers are correct:
static and recurring passwords. This is incorrect because if there is no encryption then someone password sniffing would be able to capture the password much easier if it never changed.
encryption and recurring passwords. This is incorrect because while encryption helps, recurring passwords do nothing to minimize the risk of passwords being captured.

Guards are appropriate whenever the function required by the security program involves which of the following?
正解: A
Explanation/Reference:
The use of discriminating judgment, a guard can make the determinations that hardware or other automated security devices cannot make due to its ability to adjust to rapidly changing conditions, to learn and alter recognizable patterns, and to respond to various conditions in the environment. Guards are better at making value decisions at times of incidents. They are appropriate whenever immediate, discriminating judgment is required by the security entity.
The following answers are incorrect:
The use of physical force This is not the best answer. A guard provides discriminating judgment, and the ability to discern the need for physical force.
The operation of access control devices A guard is often uninvolved in the operations of an automated access control device such as a biometric reader, a smart lock, mantrap, etc.
The need to detect unauthorized access The primary function of a guard is not to detect unauthorized access, but to prevent unauthorized physical access attempts and may deter social engineering attempts.

SSCP 試験問題 99
Which of the following statements pertaining to a security policy is incorrect?
正解: B
Explanation/Reference:
A security policy would NOT define how hardware and software should be used throughout the organization. A standard or a procedure would provide such details but not a policy.
A security policy is a formal statement of the rules that people who are given access to anorganization's technology and information assets must abide. The policy communicates the security goals to all of the users, the administrators, and the managers. The goals will be largely determined by the following key tradeoffs: services offered versus security provided, ease of use versus security, and cost of security versus risk of loss.
The main purpose of a security policy is to inform the users, the administrators and the managers of their obligatory requirements for protecting technology and information assets.
The policy should specify the mechanisms through which these requirements can be met. Another purpose is to provide a baseline from which to acquire, configure and audit computer systems and networks for compliance with the policy. In order for a security policy to be appropriate and effective, it needs to have the acceptance and support of all levels of employees within the organization. A good security policy must:
* Be able to be implemented through system administration procedures, publishing of acceptable use guidelines, or other appropriate methods
* Be able to be enforced with security tools, where appropriate, and with sanctions, where actual prevention is not technically feasible
* Clearly define the areas of responsibility for the users, the administrators, and the managers
* Be communicated to all once it is established
* Be flexible to the changing environment of a computer network since it is a living document Reference(s) used for this question:

SSCP 試験問題 100
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) uses a Message Authentication Code (MAC) for what purpose?
正解: D
Section: Cryptography
Explanation/Reference:
A keyed hash also called a MAC (message authentication code) is used for integrity protection and authenticity.
In cryptography, a message authentication code (MAC) is a generated value used to authenticate a message.
A MAC can be generated by HMAC or CBC-MAC methods. The MAC protects both a message's integrity (by ensuring that a different MAC will be produced if the message has changed) as well as its authenticity, because only someone who knows the secret key could have modified the message.
MACs differ from digital signatures as MAC values are both generated and verified using the same secret key.
This implies that the sender and receiver of a message must agree on the same key before initiating communications, as is the case with symmetric encryption. For the same reason, MACs do not provide the property of non-repudiation offered by signatures specifically in the case of a network-wide shared secret key:
any user who can verify a MAC is also capable of generating MACs for other messages.
HMAC
When using HMAC the symmetric key of the sender would be concatenated (added at the end) with the message. The result of this process (message + secret key) would be put through a hashing algorithm, and the result would be a MAC value. This MAC value is then appended to the message being sent. If an enemy were to intercept this message and modify it, he would not have the necessary symmetric key to create a valid MAC value. The receiver would detect the tampering because the MAC value would not be valid on the receiving side.
CBC-MAC
If a CBC-MAC is being used, the message is encrypted with a symmetric block cipher in CBC mode, and the output of the final block of ciphertext is used as the MAC. The sender does not send the encrypted version of the message, but instead sends the plaintext version and the MAC attached to the message. The receiver receives the plaintext message and encrypts it with the same symmetric block cipher in CBC mode and calculates an independent MAC value. The receiver compares the new MAC value with the MAC value sent with the message. This method does not use a hashing algorithm as does HMAC.
Cipher-Based Message Authentication Code (CMAC)
Some security issues with CBC-MAC were found and they created Cipher-Based Message Authentication Code (CMAC) as a replacement. CMAC provides the same type of data origin authentication and integrity as CBC-MAC, but is more secure mathematically. CMAC is a variation of CBC-MAC. It is approved to work with AES and Triple DES. HMAC, CBC-MAC, and CMAC work higher in the network stack and can identify not only transmission errors (accidental), but also more nefarious modifications, as in an attacker messing with a message for her own benefit. This means all of these technologies can identify intentional, unauthorized modifications and accidental changes- three in one.
The following are all incorrect answers:
"Message non-repudiation" is incorrect.
Nonrepudiation is the assurance that someone cannot deny something. Typically, nonrepudiation refers to the ability to ensure that a party to a contract or a communication cannot deny the authenticity of their signature on a document or the sending of a message that they originated.
To repudiate means to deny. For many years, authorities have sought to make repudiation impossible in some situations. You might send registered mail, for example, so the recipient cannot deny that a letter was delivered. Similarly, a legal document typically requires witnesses to signing so that the person who signs cannot deny having done so.
On the Internet, a digital signature is used not only to ensure that a message or document has been electronically signed by the person that purported to sign the document, but also, since a digital signature can only be created by one person, to ensure that a person cannot later deny that they furnished the signature.
"Message confidentiality" is incorrect. The Message confidentiality is protected by encryption not by hashing algorithms.
"Message interleave checking" is incorrect. This is a nonsense term included as a distractor.
