Correct Answer
A. Electronic key management system (EKMS)Explanation
The correct answer is Electronic key management system (EKMS). EKMS is a collection of interoperable systems developed for the services and government agencies to automate handling and management of COMSEC (Communications Security) material. It is used to securely generate, distribute, and manage encryption keys for secure communication systems. EKMS ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information by providing a centralized and standardized approach to key management. It streamlines the process of key generation, distribution, and destruction, enhancing the overall security and efficiency of communication systems.Rate this question:

Who must sign all communications security manager (CAM) waivers?
- A.
Unit commander
- B.
Security manager
- C.
Wing commander
- D.
Communications security responsible officer (CRO)
Correct Answer
C. Wing commanderExplanation
The wing commander must sign all communications security manager (CAM) waivers. This is because the wing commander is the highest-ranking officer in the wing and has the authority to approve or deny any waivers related to communications security. The unit commander is responsible for the overall management of their specific unit, while the security manager is responsible for implementing security measures. The communications security responsible officer (CRO) is responsible for overseeing communications security within the organization, but they do not have the authority to sign waivers.

Which type of security clearance is not valid for personnel on a communications security (COMSEC) access list?
- A.
A final security clearance
- B.
An interim security clearance
- C.
A clearance equal to the COMSEC being accessed
- D.
A clearance higher than the COMSEC being accessed
Correct Answer
B. An interim security clearanceExplanation
An interim security clearance is not valid for personnel on a communications security (COMSEC) access list because an interim clearance is only granted temporarily while a full background investigation is being conducted. It does not provide the same level of thoroughness as a final security clearance, which is required for personnel to have access to sensitive COMSEC information. Therefore, an interim clearance does not meet the necessary criteria for personnel on a COMSEC access list.Rate this question:

This means that the CAM, who is responsible for managing communications security, as well as any other person listed on the COMSEC access list, has the authority to destroy communications security material. This ensures that only authorized individuals with the necessary knowledge and clearance are able to handle and dispose of sensitive COMSEC material, maintaining the security and integrity of communications.Rate this question:

Waiting for a certain period of time, such as within 12 hours, before signing the record could potentially create a gap in the chain of custody and compromise the security of the destroyed material.Rate this question:
