QUESTION: 47

Which of the following can be configured so that when an alarm is activated, all doors lock and the suspect or intruder is caught between the doors in the dead-space?

Man trap
Biometric device
Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)
Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS)

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A man-trap in modern physical security protocols refers to a small space having two sets of interlocking doors such that the first set of doors must close before the second set opens. Identification may be required for each door, and possibly different measures for each door. For example, a key may open the first door, but a personal identification number entered on a number pad opens the second. Other methods of opening doors include proximity cards or biometric devices such as fingerprint readers or iris recognition scans. "Man-traps" may be configured so that when an alarm is activated, all doors lock and trap the suspect between the doors in the "dead-space" or lock just one door to deny access to a secure space such as a data center or research lab. Answer options C, D, and B are incorrect. HIDS, biometric devices, and NIDS cannot be configured to catch the suspect or intruder between the doors in the dead-space.

QUESTION: 48

Which of the following refers to a location away from the computer center where document copies and backup media are kept?

Storage Area network
Off-site storage
On-site storage
Network attached storage

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Off-site storage refers to a location away from the computer center where documents copies and backup media are kept. This storage method is more secure but less convenient and more costly.
Answer option C is incorrect. Onsite storage refers to the same location where the work place is. It is considered more convenient but less secure in case of disaster.
Answer option A is incorrect. A storage area network (SAN) is an architecture to attach remote computer storage devices (such as disk arrays,
tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes) to servers in such a way that the devices appear as locally attached to the operating system.
Answer option D is incorrect. Network attached storage (NAS), in contrast to SAN, uses file-based protocols such as NFS or SMB/CIFS where it is clear that the storage is remote, and computers request a portion of an abstract file rather than a disk block.

QUESTION: 49

Which of the following encryption methods does the SSL protocol use in order to provide communication privacy, authentication, and message integrity? Each correct answer represents a part of the solution. Choose two.

Public key
IPsec
MS-CHAP
Symmetric

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

SSL uses a combination of public key and symmetric encryption to provide communication privacy, authentication, and message integrity. Symmetric encryption is a type of encryption that uses a single key to encrypt and decrypt data.
Symmetric encryption algorithms are faster than public key encryption. Therefore, it is commonly used when a message sender needs to encrypt a large amount of data. Data Encryption Standard (DES) uses symmetric encryption key algorithm to encrypt data. The Public Key Encryption also called asymmetric encryption was first publicly proposed by Diffie and Hellman in 1976. Public Key Encryption is more secure than non-public key encryption. It is based on the mathematical functionality rather than on the simple operations on bit patterns. It uses two separate keys. It has five stages as follows:
Plain Text: It is the original message.
Encryption Algorithm: It performs different transformations on plain text. Public and Private Key: It is the input to the encryption algorithm.
Cipher Text: It is the scrambled message as an output.
Decryption Algorithm: It performs on cipher text and gives the original message as an output. Answer option B is incorrect. Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a method of securing data. It secures traffic by using encryption and digital signing. It enhances the security of data as if an IPSec packet is captured, its contents cannot be read.
IPSec also provides sender verification that ensures the certainty of the datagram's origin to the receiver. Answer option C is incorrect. Microsoft created the Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) to authenticate remote Windows workstations. It is designed especially for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 networking products. This protocol provides data encryption along with password encryption.

QUESTION: 51

You work as a Network Consultant. A company named Tech Perfect Inc. hires you for security reasons. The manager of the company tells you to establish connectivity between clients and servers of the network which prevents eavesdropping and tampering of data on the Internet.
Which of the following will you configure on the network to perform the given task?

WEP
IPsec
VPN
SSL

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

In order to perform the given task, you will have to configure the SSL protocol on the network. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol used to transmit private documents via the Internet. SSL uses a combination of public key and symmetric encryption to provide communication privacy, authentication, and message integrity. Using the SSL protocol, clients and servers can communicate in a way that prevents eavesdropping and tampering of data on the Internet. Many Web sites use the SSL protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http:. By default, SSL uses port 443 for secured communication.
Answer option B is incorrect. Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a method of securing data. It secures traffic by using encryption and digital signing. It enhances the security of data as if an IPSec packet is captured, its contents cannot be read.
IPSec also provides sender verification that ensures the certainty of the datagram's origin to the receiver. Answer option A is incorrect. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs). It has two components, authentication and encryption. It provides security, which is equivalent to wired networks, for wireless networks. WEP encrypts data on a wireless network by using a fixed secret key. WEP incorporates a checksum in each frame to provide protection against the attacks that attempt to reveal the key stream.
Answer option C is incorrect. VPN stands for virtual private network. It allows users to use the Internet as a secure pipeline to their corporate local area networks (LANs). Remote users can dial-in to any local Internet Service Provider (ISP) and initiate a VPN session to connect to their corporate LAN over the Internet. Companies using VPNs significantly reduce long-distance dial-up charges. VPNs also provide remote employees with an inexpensive way of remaining connected to their company's LAN for extended periods.
