Question 1 of 10
Imagine a consortium of historical societies, each managing their digitized archival collections using Z39.50 compliant systems. The consortium aims to provide researchers with seamless access to these collections through a unified portal. However, the societies have varying levels of sensitivity regarding their data. The \"Ancient Mariners Society\" needs to restrict access to ship manifests containing personal information of deceased sailors to verified descendants only, while the \"Pioneer Women\'s Archive\" requires all users to authenticate, but grants universal read access to its collection of letters and diaries. The \"Industrial Revolution Museum\" wants to protect their schematics of early machinery from unauthorized copying by encrypting the data at rest. The consortium\'s IT architect, Javier, is tasked with implementing a security strategy that addresses these diverse needs within the Z39.50 framework. Which combination of security mechanisms would best satisfy the requirements of the consortium, ensuring both secure data transmission and granular control over access to sensitive information, while also protecting the Industrial Revolution Museum\'s data?
Implementing SSL/TLS for secure communication between the client portal and each society's Z39.50 server, coupled with access control lists (ACLs) and user permissions managed at each society's server to restrict access to sensitive resources, and encrypting the data at rest.
Relying solely on SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission and implementing a single, consortium-wide authentication system with basic username/password credentials.
Implementing IP address filtering at each society's server to restrict access based on the researcher's geographical location, combined with daily password resets for all users.
Utilizing digital watermarking on all retrieved documents to prevent unauthorized copying and relying on the inherent security of the Z39.50 protocol for data transmission.
