Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A supplicant is a proposed systems user, someone who is trying to gain access to a network or system by authenticating themselves through a login or other security measure. An authenticator is the system or device that verifies the identity of the supplicant, a challenger is a device or system that challenges the supplicant to provide further evidence of their identity, and an activator is a device or system that grants access to the supplicant once their identity has been verified. Therefore, choice C, supplicant, is the most appropriate answer.
