10 Questions
What does the Modularity Principle emphasize in security design?
Upgrading individual parts without modifying the entire system
How does the Modularity Principle help in maintaining a system?
By tracking and addressing reported flaws independently
Which aspect is crucial when taking action for a maintenance release or bug fix according to the text?
Following design principle considerations, documentation, and justifications
What should be included in the information about each reported flaw?
Remedial actions taken or planned, flaw's severity, and progress in fixing
How does the Modularity Principle impact system upgrades in terms of security mechanisms?
It allows independent updating of security mechanisms
What does the Modularity Principle refer to in the context of security?
Developing security functions as separate, protected modules
Why is it more secure to provide common cryptographic modules instead of implementing cryptographic functions in each protocol or application?
It enables focus on secure implementation of a single cryptographic module
How does a modular architecture contribute to security mechanisms?
It ensures each security mechanism supports new technology or feature upgrades
In the context of security, what is the purpose of developing separate security modules?
To provide common security functions and services
Why is protecting the cryptographic module from tampering an important aspect of the Modularity Principle?
To prevent misuse of the cryptographic module
