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.
