CISSP Practice полностью

4. c. Usually, IPsec is implemented on a firewall for VPNs. IPsec encrypts and encapsulates IP packets, so outsiders cannot observe the true source and destinations. VPNs enable a trusted network to communicate with another network over untrusted networks such as the Internet. A policy is needed for use of firewalls with VPNs. Any connection between firewalls over public networks should use encrypted VPNs to ensure the privacy and integrity of the data passing over the public network. Bridges, gateways, and backbones do not have the access control mechanism as the firewall.

5. Which of the following permits IPsec to use external authentication services such as Kerberos and RADIUS?

a. EAP

b. PPP

c. CHAP

d. PAP

5. a. The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Version 2 of IPsec supports the extensible authentication protocol (EAP), which permits IPsec to use external authentication services such as Kerberos and RADIUS. The point-to-point protocol (PPP) standard specifies that password authentication protocol (PAP) and challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP) may be negotiated as authentication methods, but other methods can be added to the negotiation and used as well.

6. A VPN creates a secure, private network over the Internet through all the following except:

a. Authentication

b. Encryption

c. Packet tunneling

d. Firewalls

6. a. VPNs enable an organization to create a secure, private network over a public network such as the Internet. They can be created using software, hardware, or a combination to create a secure link between peers over a public network. The secure link is built through encryption, firewalls, and packet tunneling. Authentication is done outside the network.

7. From a security viewpoint, which of the following should be the goal for a VPN?

a. Make only one exit point from a company’s network to the Internet.

b. Make only one entry point to a company’s network from the Internet.

c. Make only one destination point from a company’s network to the Internet.

d. Make only one transmission point from the Internet to a company’s network.

7. b. The goal for a VPN should be to make it the only entry point to an organization’s network from the Internet. This requires blocking all the organization’s systems or making them inaccessible from the Internet unless outside users connect to the organization’s network via its VPN.
