Question #: 85
Topic #: 7
[All CSSLP Questions]

Which of the following types of attacks occurs when an attacker successfully inserts an intermediary software or program between two communicating hosts?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C, D

The security challenges for DRM are as follows:

Key hiding: It prevents tampering attacks that target the secret keys. In the key hiding process, secret keys are used for

authentication, encryption, and node-locking.

Device fingerprinting: It prevents fraud and provides secure authentication. Device fingerprinting includes the summary of hardware

and software characteristics in order to uniquely identify a device.

OTA provisioning: It provides end-to-end encryption or other secure ways for delivery of copyrighted software to mobile devices.

Answer B is incorrect. Access control is not a security challenge for DRM.

I think the answer is C, man-in-the-middle. We had a similar question in our last quiz, and that was the correct choice then too.

I’m a bit confused. I thought a man-in-the-middle attack was about intercepting communications, but I can't recall the exact details.

Let me think this through. A man-in-the-middle attack is when the attacker inserts an intermediary program to monitor or tamper with the communication. I'll go with that option.

This seems straightforward. The description matches a man-in-the-middle attack, where the attacker positions themselves between the two hosts. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. A man-in-the-middle attack is when the attacker inserts their own software or program to intercept the communication. I'll mark that one down.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Should we be looking at the code of conduct or developing a specific machine learning policy? I'm not sure which approach would be best to tackle the discrimination concern.
