Q

Clark-Wilson Security Model

Q

4 Components of ISO/SEC 15408 Common Criteria

PP/TE/ST/P

A
  • Protection Profile: Description of needed security solution (all systems should be protected by sec software)
  • Target Evaluation: Product proposed to provide needed security solution
  • Security Target: Written by vendor explaining security functionality and assurance
  • Packages - Evaluation Assurance Levels (EAL): Security requirements bundled into packages for re-use

Q

Security Product Evaluation Ratings (1-7)

ft/st/mtc/mdtr/sfdt/sfvdt/fvdt

A
  • *EAL 1: Functionally tested (Works when on)
  • EAL 2: Structurally tested
  • EAL 3: Methodically tested and checked
  • EAL 4: Methodically designed, tested, and reviewed
  • EAL 5: Semi-formally designed and tested
  • EAL 6: Semi-formally verified, designed, and tested
  • *EAL 7: Formally verified, designed, and tested (Very Specific)

Q

Accreditation

A

Validation in production

20
Q

Supervisor CPU State

km/ring/prog/both

A
  • Kernel/Protected/Privileged Mode
  • Ring 0
  • Program can access entire system
  • Both privileged and non-privileged instructions
21
Q

Problem CPU State

um/ring/non/app

A
  • User/Program Mode
  • Ring 3
  • Only non-privileged instructions are executed
  • Intended for application programs
22
Q

Multi-threading

A

Tasks don’t interfere with each other

23
Q

Multi-tasking

A

Simultaneous execution of two or more programs

24
Q

Multi-programming

A

Interleaved execution of two or more program by one CPU

25
Q

Reference Monitor

A

Abstract machine that controls the access subjects have to objects

26
Q

Security Kernel

A

Components in system that enforce the rules of the reference monitor(hardware, firmware, and software)

*Admin of reference monitor

27
Q

3 Security Requires of Security Kernel

IAM

A
  • Isolated: Protected from unauthorized access
  • Active: Active all the time
  • Monitor: Evaluate reference monitor to make sure its working properly
28
Q

Multi-processing

A

More than one CPU and they can process the request in parallel.

29
Q

Trusted Computing Base (TCB)

A

Total combination of protection mechanisms within a computer system.

Address the level of trust in a system, not a level of security

30
Q

Security Perimeter of TCB

A

The buffer between TCB and non-TCB objects

31
Q

Covert Channels

A

Sending information in an unauthorized manner using a medium in an unintended way

  • Data going over HTTP but its not web traffic
32
Q

Timing Covert Channel

A

A process relays information to another by modulating its use of system resources

33
Q

Storage Covert Channel

A

A process writes data to a storage location, and another process of lower clearance reads it.

34
Q

5 Threats to Software and Systems

B/TA/BO/I/A

A
  • Backdoors
  • Timing Attacks
  • Buffer Overflows
  • Inference
  • Aggregation
35
Q

Back Doors

A
  • Accessing a system by bypassing access controls
  • Attacker has access at any time

*Maintenance Hook

36
Q

Timing Attacks

A
  • Take advantage of the time between events in a sequence

- Time of Check/Time of Use & Race Conditions

37
Q

Time of Check/Time of Use (TOC/TOU)

A

Attack takes place after the system checks a specific file of the system before the system actually uses that file

38
Q

Race Conditions

A

Two processes race to carry out conflicting actions at the same time. Attacker must slow/speed up one process to get to work

39
Q

Data Validation

A

Process of reviewing data against a per-established set of criteria

40
Q

Code Injection

A

Input must be validated for range/type/length (SQL Injection)

41
Q

Buffer Overflow

A

If an application does not verify the amount of information being input, the data can overwrite other memory segments (Execute in privilege mode)

42
Q

Inference

A

Act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true (Finding Apache version)

43
Q

Aggregation

A

A massive together or clustering of independent but similar units, such as data elements (Multiple data items together DOB & First and Last)

44
Q

Countermeasure Principals - Defense in Depth (3 Things)

PTO

A
  • People
  • Technology
  • Operations
45
Q

Defense in Depth - People

A

Achieving information assurance beings with a senior level management commitment (typically at the CIO level)

46
Q

Defense in Depth - Technology

A

Wide range of technologies available for providing information assurance services and for detecting intrusions

47
Q

Defense in Depth - Operations

A

Focuses on all the activities required to sustain an organizations security posture on a day to day basis
