A.
MBSA
B.
IBSS
C.
MAC
D.
SSID
Explanation:
Service Set Identifier, or SSID, is a name that identifies a particular 802.11 wireless LAN. A client
device receives broadcast messages from all access points within range, advertising their SSIDs. The
client device can then either manually or automatically, based on configuration, select the network
and can associate itself. The SSID can be up to 32 characters long. As the SSID displays to users, it
normally consists of human-readable characters. The SSID is defined as a sequence of 1-32 octets,
ad-hoc network of client devices that does not require a central control access point. In IBSS, the
SSID is chosen by the client device that starts the communication. The broadcasting of the SSID is
incorrect. Mandatory access control (MAC) refers to a type of access control by which the operating
system constrains the ability of a subject or initiator to access or generally perform some sort of
operation on an object or target. In practice, a subject is usually a process or thread; objects are
constructs such as files, directories, TCP/UDP ports, shared memory segments, etc. Subjects and
objects each have a set of security attributes. Whenever a subject attempts to access an object, an
authorization rule enforced by the operating system kernel examines these security attributes and
decides whether the access can take place. Any operation by any subject on any object will be tested
against the set of authorization rules to determine if the operation is allowed.
