Oracle Exam 1Z0-821 Topic 7 Question 89 Discussion

Actual exam question for Oracle's 1Z0-821 exam

Question #: 89
Topic #: 7

United States of America export laws include restrictions on cryptography.

Identify the two methods with which these restrictions are accommodated in the Oracle Solaris 11 Cryptographic Framework.

ACorporations must utilize signed X.509 v3 certificates.

BA third-party provider object must be signed with a certificate issued by Oracle.

CLoadable kernel software modules must register using the Cryptographic Framework SPI.

DThird-party providers must utilize X.509 v3 certificates signed by trusted Root Certification Authorities.

ESystems destined for embargoed countries utilize loadable kernel software modules that restrict encryption to 64 bit keys.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

B: Binary Signatures for Third-Party Software

The elfsign command provides a means to sign providers to be used with the Oracle Solaris Cryptographic Framework. Typically, this command is run by the developer of a provider.

The elfsign command has subcommands to request a certificate from Sun and to sign binaries. Another subcommand verifies the signature. Unsigned binaries cannot be used by the Oracle Solaris Cryptographic Framework. To sign one or more providers requires the certificate from Sun and the private key that was used to request the certificate.

C: Export law in the United States requires that the use of open cryptographic interfaces be restricted. The Oracle Solaris Cryptographic Framework satisfies the current law by requiring that kernel cryptographic providers and PKCS #11 cryptographic providers be signed.

I bet the folks who came up with these rules were real crypto-enthusiasts. I mean, who doesn't love a good 64-bit key, am I right?

I'm not sure, but I think E could also be a valid option, as it mentions restrictions on encryption keys for embargoed countries.

I'm pretty sure C and D are the right options. The Cryptographic Framework has specific requirements to ensure the security and integrity of cryptographic providers.

Hmm, I think the correct answers are C and D. The Cryptographic Framework in Oracle Solaris 11 requires the use of the SPI to register loadable kernel modules, and third-party providers need to use trusted X.509 v3 certificates.
