RCDD · Question #146

Which one of the following is part of the security metric to consider in selecting the appropriate labels for an administrative system?

The correct answer is A. Tamper resistance. Tamper resistance is the security-specific metric for label selection in administrative systems because it ensures labels cannot be altered or removed without detection.

Why each option

Tamper resistance is the security-specific metric for label selection in administrative systems because it ensures labels cannot be altered or removed without detection.

ATamper resistanceCorrect

Tamper resistance is a security metric because it ensures labels on administrative systems cannot be covertly removed, replaced, or altered - which could otherwise facilitate unauthorized access or obscure accountability. This property directly addresses the integrity of the labeling system from a security standpoint, distinguishing it from purely physical or environmental durability characteristics.

BSmudge resistance

Smudge resistance is a legibility and durability metric that addresses how well a label maintains readability, not whether it has been tampered with.

CTemperature rating

Temperature rating is an environmental performance specification that defines operating limits, not a security consideration.

DAdhesive type

Adhesive type relates to how well a label bonds to a surface and is an installation or durability metric, not a security metric.

EMoisture content

Moisture content is a material or environmental characteristic related to label degradation, not a security metric relevant to label selection.
