Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Melissa has set up procedures so that every user needs to enter their password, which appears as asterisks on the screen as it is being entered. This is a common security measure to ensure that only authorized users have access to the network and its resources. A private key and public key are used in encryption, while an e-mail address is not sufficient for authentication purposes. Therefore, the best choice for this scenario is password (D).
