25 Questions

1. A testing technique that is used to evaluate output from one application; while the information is sent as input to another application

2. In an asymmetric cryptographic scheme; the key that may be widely published to enable the operation of the scheme

3. The method or communication mode of routing data over the communication network (also see half duplex and full duplex)

4. Used to enable remote access to a server computer. Commands typed are run on the remote server.

5. To apply a variable; alternating current (AC) field for the purpose of demagnetizing magnetic recording media. The process involves increasing the AC field gradually from zero to some maximum value and back to zero; which leaves a very low residue of

6. A set of utilities that implement a particular network protocol. For instance; in Windows machines a TCP/IP stack consists of TCP/IP software; sockets software and hardware driver software.

7. To record details of information or events in an organized record-keeping system; usually sequenced in the order they occurred

8. The denial by one of the parties to a transaction or participation in all or part of that transaction or of the content of communications related to that transaction.

9. Hardware devices; such as asynchronous and synchronous transmissions; that convert between two different types of transmission

10. The boundary that defines the area of security concern and security policy coverage

11. Software packages that sequentially dial telephone numbers; recording any numbers that answer

12. Electronic communications by special devices over distances or around devices that preclude direct interpersonal exchange

13. A form of modulation in which data signals are pulsed directly on the transmission medium without frequency division and usually utilize a transceiver. In baseband the entire bandwidth of the transmission medium (e.g.; coaxial cable) is utilized for

14. An evaluation of an application system under development which considers matters such as: appropriate controls are designed into the system; the application will process information in a complete; accurate and reliable manner; the application will fu

18. A program designed to detect computer viruses

19. The process of feeding test data into two systems; the modified system and an alternative system (possibly the original system) and comparing results

20. The total of any numeric data field on a document or computer file. This total is checked against a control total of the same field to facilitate accuracy of processing.

21. A warm-site is similar to a hot-site; however; it is not fully equipped with all necessary hardware needed for recovery.

22. A communications channel over which data can be sent and received simultaneously

23. Audit evidence is relevant if it pertains to the audit objectives and has a logical relationship to the findings and conclusions it is used to support.

24. The application of audit procedures to less than 100 percent of the items within a population to obtain audit evidence about a particular characteristic of the population

25. Used in data encryption; it uses a secret key to encrypt the plaintext to the ciphertext. It also uses the same key to decrypt the ciphertext to the corresponding plaintext. In this case; the key is symmetric such that the encryption key is equivalen
