in Security+
I passed it when it was a Beta, and had to take it again to get credit..

Test was worded odd, and if you do not pay attention in great detail you will not pass it. Terminology is everything with this test...

I got 4-5 scenerio questions about Social Engineering
I got a question about Stenography
Be sure to know port numbers.. Key ones
SSL Port 443
Kerbereos Port 88

Understanding the reasons for why you would issue a CRL.

I got 3 questions regarding PGP Pretty Good Privacy
Know the encryption mechanisms it runs
Understand the WEB OF TRUST model it uses.

Understand SSL and it's 6 way handshake
Understand it has a 1 way security communication

Know which encryption models use Block or Stream ciphers..

Block vs Stream ciphering

Learn about when it is best to use Asymmetric or Symmetric..

Research which one is best to use with large amounts of data.

A lot of questions are based around

RBAC
MAC
DAC

models.. One of my questions was concerning RBAC 3-4 others MAC. No DAC questions.

Very broad test, information and the toughest Comtpia Exam..

Now it's on to Sun Certified Java Associate, and CIW Web Designer.

Good luck, hope this helps point you in some areas to study..

I used measureup.com, this web site, and the Sybex Book to study.. Plus I am fresh off my Project+ which helped prepare me for Risk Assessment, and Forensic questions on this exam.

    Congratulations on the pass.
    It is worded oddly isn't it.
    No matter how paranoid you are, you're not paranoid enough.

    It was back in 2002 or 2003 while I was in college, and they were doing beta exams for the test..
