C. Correct:
Public key encryption can greatly enhance security, especially for
mobile users. Although user certificates can be stored on the computer’s hard disk
and can be password-protected, storing certificates on a smart card is more secure
because it requires a thief to have access to both the smart card and the user’s
password.
D. Correct:
By encrypting the user’s data files, you ensure that if the replacement
laptop computer is stolen and the hard disk is moved to another computer, the
thief cannot view confidential information. S/MIME further enhances security by
allowing the account executive to digitally sign sent e-mail and receive encrypted
e-mail messages.
E. Incorrect:
The Recovery Console can be a useful tool for diagnosing and repair-
ing serious computer failures such as corrupted system files and unsupportable
configuration changes. Configuring the Recovery Console for automatic logging
on significantly decreases security on a system. This is especially true for mobile
users whose laptop computers are at risk of theft. This configuration setting is
appropriate only on computers that are physically secure or contain no sensitive
data and cannot access any other important computers over the network. Use this
setting with caution.
