Quiz on ARPA Controls

Match the following access control mechanisms with their primary functions.

• Restricting access based on permissions.

• To restrict access to resources based on user permissions.

• Providing chaos in user access.

• To enhance user permissions for all resources.

• Enhancing permissions for all.

• To monitor user activity without restrictions.

• Monitoring user activity freely.

• To provide unlimited access to all users, which would be chaos.

A common type of access control mechanism is (a)   .

• Attribute-Based Access Control (ABA
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Mandatory Access Control (MAC)
• Discretionary Access Control (DAC)

How does role-based access control (RBAC) function?

• RBAC is based on the user's department.

• RBAC requires users to request permissions individually.

• RBAC assigns permissions to roles, and users gain access through their assigned roles.

• RBAC grants access based on user identity alone.

Match the following purposes of data encryption techniques with their descriptions.

• To protect data from unauthorized access!

• To speed up data processing!

• To facilitate secure data transfer!

• To give us more room for our data!

• To optimize storage capacity!

• To keep our sensitive information safe from intruders!

• To enhance the efficiency of data handling!

• To make sharing data easier!

Which encryption method would you recommend to help your friend Ava secure her secret diary?

• RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman)

• Blowfish

• DES (Data Encryption Standard)

• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)

Match the following types of encryption with their characteristics.

• Asymmetric encryption is slower than symmetric for large data sizes.

• Symmetric encryption uses multiple keys, while asymmetric uses one key.

• Symmetric encryption is faster than asymmetric for data encryption.

• Asymmetric encryption is faster than symmetric for all data sizes.

• Symmetric encryption is used for both data encryption and digital signatures.

• Symmetric encryption uses one key, while asymmetric uses a key pair.

• Asymmetric encryption uses two keys for secure communication.

• Symmetric encryption is only for digital signatures, while asymmetric is for data encryption.

A common user authentication method that uses a password is (a)   .

• Biometric authentication
• Single sign-on authentication
• Two-factor authentication
• Username and password authenticatio

How does two-factor authentication enhance security?

• It requires only a password.

• It eliminates the need for passwords.

• It allows unlimited access without verification.

• It requires two forms of verification, making unauthorized access more difficult.

What role does a digital certificate play in verifying Rohan and Mia's identities?

• To store user passwords securely.

• To encrypt user data during transmission.

• To verify the identity of a user or device.

• To provide a backup for user accounts.

Match the following descriptions with their corresponding functions.

• Function of overseeing and controlling user access and permissions.

• To design network infrastructure

• Function of designing the layout and connections of a network.

• To manage user accounts

• Function of monitoring and ensuring the health and performance of IT systems.

• To create software applications

• Function of developing and building software programs.

• System monitoring tools help track and manage the performance and wellbeing of IT systems!
