SSCP Practice Test practice questions, page 41 of 43, with answer review and explanations.

Question 201

An alternative to using passwords for authentication in logical or technical access control is:

  1. manage without passwords
  2. biometrics
  3. not there
  4. use of them for physical access control

Question 202

Almost all types of detection permit a system's sensitivity to be increased or decreased during an inspection process. If the system's sensitivity is increased, such as in a biometric authentication system, the system becomes increasingly selective and has the possibility of generating:

  1. Lower False Rejection Rate (FRR)
  2. Higher False Rejection Rate (FRR)
  3. Higher False Acceptance Rate (FAR)
  4. It will not affect either FAR or FRR

Question 203

In the context of Biometric authentication, what is a quick way to compare the accuracy of devices. In general, the device that have the lowest value would be the most accurate. Which of the following would be used to compare accuracy of devices?

  1. the CER is used.
  2. the FRR is used
  3. the FAR is used
  4. the FER is used

Question 204

Because all the secret keys are held and authentication is performed on the Kerberos TGS and the authentication servers, these servers are vulnerable to:

  1. neither physical attacks nor attacks from malicious code.
  2. physical attacks only
  3. both physical attacks and attacks from malicious code.
  4. physical attacks but not attacks from malicious code.

Question 205

The throughput rate is the rate at which individuals, once enrolled, can be processed and identified or authenticated by a biometric system. Acceptable throughput rates are in the range of:

  1. 100 subjects per minute.
  2. 25 subjects per minute.
  3. 10 subjects per minute.
  4. 50 subjects per minute.
