ITF - Quiz 14.3 - Authentication Factors

What is the 'something you know' factor of authentication?

• Using biometric data for verification

• Using unique hardware tokens

• Using knowledge-based authentication methods

• Using location-based authentication

Which of the following is an example of 'something you know' authentication?

• Fingerprint recognition

• Smart card authentication

• Username and password login

• Location-based authentication

What is the purpose of 'something you have' authentication?

• To verify a user's identity using biometric data

• To assess a user's presence in a specific location

• To provide unique hardware tokens for higher security

• To simplify user authentication with a single sign-on process

Which authentication factor is based on biometric recognition systems?

• Something you know

• Something you have

• Something you are

• Somewhere you are

What is a potential challenge of biometric authentication?

• Loss or theft of hardware tokens

• Invasive and privacy concerns

• Setup and maintenance costs

• Unexpected location-based access controls

What is the purpose of location-based authentication?

• To verify a user's identity using biometric data

• To assess a user's presence in a specific location

• To provide unique hardware tokens for higher security

• To simplify user authentication with a single sign-on process

What is the term for combining multiple authentication factors?

• Single Sign-On

• Two-factor authentication

• Multifactor authentication

• Three-factor authentication

Which authentication factors requires possession of a smart card, a matching fingerprint, and the input of a PIN?

• Something you know

• Something you have

• Something you are

• Somewhere you are

What is the purpose of Single Sign-On (SSO)?

• To verify a user's identity using biometric data

• To assess a user's presence in a specific location

• To provide unique hardware tokens for higher security

• To simplify user authentication with a single authentication process

Why is compromising a Single Sign-On (SSO) account a security risk?

• It grants access to multiple services

• It requires possession of a smart card and a matching fingerprint

• It is invasive and raises privacy concerns

• It adjusts access controls based on location
