| Key override. Key override can be used during emergency situations or with authorized personnel to gain immediate access. Master keying has to do with the capability of reconfiguring the lock, as in resetting the access code. Door delay is a control that sets off an alarm if a door is open for an extended period. | Using special key combinations with cipher locks during emergency situations is called __________________. - Switch controls - Key override - Door delay - Master keying |
| Software that creates a one-time passwords. One-time passwords can also be generated in software, instead of requiring a piece of hardware as in a token device. These are referred to as soft tokens and require that the authentication service and application contain the same base secrets, which are used to generate the one-time passwords. | Joan's two network engineers are in a passionate debate over the value of a soft token versus a hard token device. Which of the following best describes a soft token? - Software that creates one-time passwords - Software that creates passwords for users, also called a password generator - A time-based one-time password generating device - A dynamic password versus a static password |

| Circuit-based proxy. A circuit-based proxy firewall looks at header information to make decisions on whether a packet is deemed acceptable for access. This is a different approach than application-based firewalls, which look at the information within the payload of the packet. A stateful firewall maintains a state table to keep track of each communication dialogue taking place between systems and makes access decisions based on the information within this table. | Which firewall makes access decisions based only on addresses and port numbers? - Circuit-based proxy - Application-based proxy - Stateful - Dual-homed |
| CIO. The chief information officer, or CIO, oversees and is responsible for the day-to-day technology operations of the company.

Which of the following is a responsibility of senior executives? - Develop testing plans - Establish project goals and develop plans - Identify critical business systems - Oversee budgets |
| Sender policy framework. Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an e-mail validation system designed to prevent e-mail spam by detecting e-mail spoofing, by verifying the sender’s IP address. SPF allows administrators to specify which hosts are allowed to send e-mail from a given domain by creating a specific SPF record in DNS. Mail exchanges use the DNS to check that mail from a given domain is being sent by a host sanctioned by that domain’s administrators. | Jack is a network administrator who needs to be able to specify which systems can send e-mail through his company’s mail servers. Which of the following best describes the solution that would provide this type of functionality? - SMTP authentication - TLS within a PKI - Sender policy framework - SMTP and IMAP authentication framework |
| Excludes a misbehaving computer from the ring. If a computer detects a problem with the network, it sends a beacon frame.

The computers and devices within this failure domain will attempt to reconfigure certain settings to try and work around the detected fault. | What is a beaconing functionality in a token passing technology? - Ensures that a fault domain never occurs - Ensures that only one frame is on the network at a time - Allows the computers to communicate to each other through the token - Excludes a misbehaving computer from the ring |
| Domain. A domain just means the resources that are available to subjects for carrying out their tasks.
