And today's poser is ....

Q34. You are the administrator for a Windows 2000 Server network. The network is configured to use EFS for file encryption.

Your supervisor wants you to make sure that the private keys are protected from hackers. Your supervisor is also concerned with system crashes that may cause the private keys to become inaccessible.

How would you protect these keys?

A. Encrypt the RSA folder.

B.Copy the entire RSA folder to a separate directory on a separate server computer.

C. Export the certificate and private key to a floppy disk, and delete the private key from the computer.

D. Encrypt the certificate and private key, copy the encrypted file to a separate server computer, and delete the private key from the main directory on the computer.

Good Luck .... see you tomorrow for the answer!!

My pick:

C. Export the certificate and private key to a floppy disk, and delete the private key from the compute

And the answer is ....

Correct Answers: C

Because the CSPs look for the private keys in the RSA folder, this folder should never be moved or renamed. For this reason, you should ensure additional security for the private keys.

To protect your private key from system crash or unauthorized access, you can export the certificate and private key to a floppy disk. You should then delete the private key from the computer.

Exporting the entire RSA folder to a floppy disk without removing the private key from the computer will not protect the private key from unauthorized access. Likewise, copying the RSA folder or copying the certificate and private key to a separate folder without removing the private key from the RSA folder will not protect the private key from hackers.

True Dat!

Floppies aren't made the way they used to be made. I know all about cleaning the heads and inconsistencies from one drive to another, blah, blah. Don't tell me how to make floppies reliable, because you can't. I haven't seen a reliable floppy for around 3 years now. You go buy a new box and they fail after a couple of uses or a couple of weeks, which ever comes first. I've got crappy old CD-Rom driver disks from Taiwan that still are good after several years, but the new ones fail? Hey, let's face it, the industry wants the floppy to go away, and they will accomplish it by making a product unreliable!

yes. this is the point. floppy disks are very unstable. i buy new box from sony or 3m and in one week, the disk are unrecoverable.

i copy files in one new machine and i can`t read the same disk in another. I don`t trust in disketes!! i prefer copy data in cd or cdrw...

best regards
