25
What type of access control is Bell-Lapadula?
Mandatory Access Control
26
What are the properties of Bell-Lapadula
No write ups No write down No read or write up and down. (Think clearances)
27
What is the focus of the Biba security model?
integrity
28
What are the properties of the Biba?
No read down No write up No read or write up
29
What access control type is Biba?
Mandatory Access Control
30
What is Lattice (Label) Based Access Control?
Users have multiple access rights. Very complex.
31
What is the Grahm-Denning Model?
Uses objects, subjects, and rules.. Has 8 rules that a specific subject can execute.
32
What is Harrisonn-Ruzzo-Ullman model?
An OS level security model that dealsw ith the integrity of access rights in the system.
33
What part of the CIA triad does the Clark-Wilson model focus on?
Integrity
34
Describe the key points of the Clark Wilson Model?
Uses Subjects, Programs, and Objects. Programs are between subjects and objects.
35
What is the Brewer Nash Model?
Designed to mitigate conflict of interest in commercial organizations
36
Describe how the Brewer Nash model works?
No information can flow between the subjects and objects in a way that would create a conflict of interest.
37
What is the non-interference model and how does it work?
It ensures that any actions that take place at a higher security level do no affect or interfere with actions at a lower level.
38
What is the take grant protection model and how does it work?
It uses rules that govern the interactions between subjects and objects.
39
What is the Zachman Framework and how does it work?
This is used for enterprise architecture and has six frameworks. The what, how, where, who, when, and why. The frameworks get mapped to rules for planners, owners, designers, builders, programmers, and users.
40
What access control can be used for security modes?
Mandatory Access Control and Discretionary access control.
41
How is the mode determined?
By the types of users, data, and the levels of users.
42
What are the requirements for dedicated security mode?
Signed NDA for all data Proper Clearance for all data Formal Access Approval for all data Valid Need to know for all data All users can access ALL data.
43
What are the requirements for system high security mode?
Signed NDA for all data Proper Clearance for all data Formal Access Approval for all data A valid need to know for some of the data All users can access SOME data based on their need to know.
44
What are the requirements for compartmented security mode?
Signed NDA for all data Proper Clearance for all data Formal Access Approval for some data A valid need to know for some of the data All users can access SOME data based on their need to know.
45
What are the requirements for multilevel security mode?
Signed NDA for all data Proper Clearance for some data Formal Access Approval for some data A valid need to know for some of the data All users can access SOME data based on their need to know.
46
What is the orange book in the rainbow series?
Earliest book which most security models are based on today. It is called the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC).
47
What is the red book in the rainbow series?
It addresses network systems and described The Trusted Network Interpretation (TNI).
48
What is ITSEC?
It is the European information technology security evaluation Criteria model
49
What is the international common criteria (ISO/IEC 15408)?
Still in use for evaluage.
50
What is the target of evaluation?
It is the product or system that is the subject of evaluation.
51
What is the protection profile?
It is a document which identifies security requirements for a group of devices.W
52
What is a security target?
A document that identifies the security properties of the target of evaluation.
53
What are evaluation assurance levels?
They score compliance against a benchmark of 7 levels. Higher level means higher compliance.
54
What is the PASTA Threat Model?
It is attacker focused. Gives a dynamic threat identification, enumeration, and scoring process Stages are: Definition of objective definition of the technical scope Application decomposition and Analysis (ADA) Threat Analysis Weakness and vulnerability analysis Attack modeling and Simulation Risk analysis and Management
55
What is the STRIDE threat model?
It is developer focused and has six categories spoofing Tampering Repudiation Information Disclosure Denial of Service Elevation of Privilege
56
What is the TRIKE threat model?
Acceptable Risk Focus
57
What is the DREAD threat model?
categorizes the impact by a score
58
What are the security domains?
A list of objects a subject is allowed to access, groups of objects and subjects with similar requirements.
59
What is kernal mode?
It allows a low-level unrestricted access to memory, cpu, disk, etc.
60
What is user mode?
No direct access to hardware. Access is directed through an API.
61
What are open systems?
They use open standards and can use standard components.
62
What are closed systems?
They use proprietary hardware and software
63
What is the ring model?
It separates trusted from untrusted. Ring 3 User applications Ring 2 Device Drivers Ring 1 Other device drivers
64
What ring does a hypervisor sit on in the ring model?
It sits at -1
