Any attempt to prevent people from being able to see information.
Information/Data Hiding
Least Privilege
Resource Encapsulation
Layering
The goal is to simplify and decrease the number of ways the software can be exploited.
Abstraction
Domain Separation
Modularity
Minimization
A fancy word for summarizing or explaining in a way that can be easily understood.
Process Isolation
Abstraction
Minimization
Least Privilege
Keeping processes separate prevents the failure of one process from negatively impacting another.
Information/Data Hiding
Resource Encapsulation
Process Isolation
Simplicity of Design
Limits what access people have to your resources and what they can do with them.
Least Privilege
Layering
Process Isolation
Abstraction
Separating areas where resources are located prevents accidents and loss data, keeping information worlds from colliding.
Layering
Modularity
Simplicity of Design
Domain Separation
Resources including hardware, system objects, or processes- must be separated and used as intended.
Domain Separation
Resource Encapsulation
Process Isolation
Minimalization
If something is less complicated, it's less likely to have problems and easier to troubleshoot and fix.
Modularity
Simplicity of Design
Layering
Information/Data Hiding
Multiple layers of defense protect information. If one layer is defeated, the next layer should catch it.
Layering
Least Privilege
Abstraction
Modularity
Able to be inserted or removed from a project; each module has its own function, interchangeable with other modules.
Process Isolation
Least Privilege
Simplicity of Design
Modularity
You are running two or more programs on a computer. One program crashes, but the other program continues to run. The ability for the other program to continue to run is a result of which principle?
Least Privilege
Resource Encapsulation
Layering
Process Isolation
When you take selfies with your smart phone, it may contain something called a geotag. A geotag reveals your exact location on a map. Removing this tag from a picture before posting it to social media is a practice that belongs to which principle?
Information/Data Hiding
Minimization
Simplicity of Design
Abstraction
While a password should be long and complex so that it will be difficult to break, the password should be easy for you to remember. One way to do this is to take the first letter of each word from a song that you know. Which principle applies to this method of creating a password?
Modularity
Least Privilege
Minimization
Layering
Wifi signals are invisible to the human eye. There are devices we can use to measure the signal and to determine their strength as well as other characteristics. Using a device to see information about wifi signals is a function of which principle?
Domain Separation
Resource Encapsulation
Abstraction
Least Privilege
In cybersecurity, one of the best ways to protect a computer or network is with a strategy called defense in depth. This strategy means that there are multiple defenses put in place. If one fails, it is likely another will catch the problem. Which principle does that strategy belong to?
Information/Data Hiding
Abstraction
Modularity
Layering
Ensuring that a resource is only used in the manner it was intended to be used is an example of which principle?
Layering
Process Isolation
Simplicity of Design
Resource Encapsulation
When you split users into groups so they can separate their activities and what they work on is an example of which principle?
Domain Separation
Information/Data Hiding
Modularity
Minimization
The ability to connect different devices such as keyboards, monitors, USB devices, and network cables to the Raspberry Pi is an example of which principle?
Least Privilege
Modularity
Layering
Process Isolation
Ensuring that information is a true and accurate representation of data. It is also the prevention of unauthorized modification or destruction of information. These statements support which principle?
Minimization
Layering
Resource Encapsulation
Domain Separation
Education, training, and awareness are the learning activities which improve people's knowledge skills, and abilities as it relates to securing information. Which principle does this statement belong?
Minimization
Layering
Information/Data Hiding
Modularity
