My plan was to score a near a 100% on the Mcraw and then use the Sybex exams and possibly transce nder.

malindak wrote: » it is on MH specially on BCP and DRP. on some questions it asks about DRP steps and some on BCP with very similar set of answers. But on Official ISC2 test provide more emphasis on BCP with their steps and not much about DRP tests if am not mistaken. this where the confusion i had. Further to above MH issues questions relating to Combi and Hybrid smart card and this was not discuss even in Cybex official guide. correct me if i am wrong

A side channel attack is a passive attack and when successful an attacker can learn the valuable information such as the encryption key. Smart cards have a microprocessor but do no not have internal power. When a user inserts the card into the reader it get a small charge from the reader which powers it. Smart cards are also Type 2 authentication (something you have) Not sure about the MH question if you provide a bit more detail I can have a look. Would you recommend the ISC2 questions as I have been thinking about getting the Transcedner questions?
malindak wrote: » Agree with your point relating to smart card. however, the book doesn't talk about Combi Card or Hybrid cards. Yes i do recommend ISC2 Official practices questions purely becoz of quality and the coverage of domains.
