Topic #: 8
[All CSSLP Questions]

Which of the following security controls works as the totality of protection mechanisms within a computer system, including hardware, firmware, and software, the combination of which is responsible for enforcing a security policy?

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’m a bit confused. I thought IPSec was more about network security rather than the totality of protection mechanisms. Is that correct?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think TCB is definitely the right choice. It covers hardware and software as part of security enforcement.

I think the answer might be C, Trusted Computing Base. It seems to fit the description of all protection mechanisms working together.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll start by thinking about the different security controls mentioned and what they each do, then I'll choose the one that best fits the description in the question.

The key here is understanding what a "trusted computing base" is and how it relates to the security of a computer system. I'm confident I can get this right.

This reminds me of a practice question we had on server overloads. I lean towards Denial of Service for this one.

The trusted computing base? More like the 'I don't trust anything' base, am I right? But hey, at least it's keeping us safe from the cyber-boogeyman.
